An Official Client for Synology NAS Devices
Hi all,
I use Dropbox daily and I love it. As a part of my current setup, I sync the entirety of my Dropbox folder to my Synology NAS device, in order to have all of my data available to me locally, through LAN (my laptop doesn't have enough disk space to allow for that), and to be able to copy the Dropbox data elsewhere to serve as a backup.
Right now, I'm using Synology's official application - Cloud Sync - to retrieve the Dropbox data. I believe it works quite well (it has some drawbacks), but it would NEVER be as reliable as an official app. Since the OS that powers Synology units - DSM - is Linux-based, I hope this suggestions is not too much, as there's already an official Dropbox Linux client.
Thanks!

Please add this feature!
I'm a photographer working with a team of 3 with a Dropbox Business account.
I have many clients that would be thrilled for this.
Agreed - a Synology client would be extremely helpful
Definitely +1 , for both Synology and QNAP deployments.
That's exactly, what I would need. I have the same setup but I already found out, that some data have not been synced properly. So the risk of data loss is to high for me with the Synology Client.
+1 vote - Would definitely be a really useful feature to have.

I absolutely would love this to be a thing for a more trustworthy and reliable syncing / backup solution from Dropbox to my NAS. <3
+1 We recently had a team member "move" a main folder. That meant it couldn't be retrieved from trash and was gone until we were able to determine where it went. That meant hours of downtime. Dropbox said they could restore (I only had access to rewind for about 1 hour) but it would take 2-3 days. That's way too much downtime so we clearly need a backup solution, just in case something unexpected happens.
Yes, please make it! We love Synology intern and Dropbox extern with Clients share.
The Synology Client dont support Team Folders, so its very complicated make Shared Folders as Subfolder with Clients and Team Members.
Please make it simple, that the NAS can sync with Dropbox Team Folders! :-)This would be HUGE. With all the working remotely going on, this would be such a huge win for video editors.
