I thought this might be useful and perhaps an alternative to backblaze for the back-ups need (in addition to the personal account for collaboration needs) While making a personal Dropbox account I saw Dropbox Back-up allows unlimited space for backing up. Mostly because the Synology is currently via wifi and is too slow for collaborating but okay for archive. I want to use Dropbox for client collaboration instead and reserve Synology for personal archive and backblaze as cloud back-up for the archive (which also includes client work). I use it for personal archives and some client collaboration (photo and video). My goal is to have an unlimited cloud backup on Dropbox of my Synology NAS archive.

Then go to Backup in the left menu and then up to Actions > Create:.

Recently I replaced my Synology DS1815+ with a new Synology DS1621+ NAS.Īfter migrating all the data from the old to new NAS and re-setting up Backblaze on the new Synology, I wanted to have a second backup of everything… just in case.
