Asustor EZ SYNC vs Qnap QSYNC vs Synology DRIVE
Looking for the best NAS for Dropbox-style folder sync? This video breaks down how Asustor, QNAP, and Synology handle file synchronization, versioning, remote access, mobile uploads, and desktop sync. Whether you want a replacement for Google Drive or a private cloud for your team, this guide will help you choose the right NAS brand.
We compare folder sync capabilities across all three brands in four main areas:
• Desktop Sync – Can you selectively sync, free up space, revert versions, and integrate with your OS?
• NAS Integration – How are synced folders managed on the NAS side? Is the folder isolated or app-accessible?
• Software Compatibility – Can you use your synced folder as a source for apps like Photos, Moments, or backups?
• Mobile Apps – Can you upload, view, manage, or auto-sync files from your phone?
Synology comes out strongest in mobile uploads and deep OS integration, while QNAP leads in flexibility for apps using sync folders. Asustor supports the basics but lacks advanced sync features like folder sourcing or mobile uploads.
