RS214 fits perfectly into 2-position racks and wall mount racks without additional rail kits. It is also resilient enough to withstand operating temperature of up to 45°C/110°F, offering high reliability under extreme conditions. The compact design offers an affordable solution for both industrial standard environments and smaller server rooms with limited space.

Ultimate file center

File Station is a fast and secure feature for sharing and managing your files stored on RS214. Just drag-n-drop and upload data from Mac or PC. Advanced filters make it easy to search for documents, photos, or videos. With built-in FTP or email clients, RS214 lets you organize and share files through an advanced web application effortlessly. You can even share files and folders with others by simply sending a link. Files can be reached on mobile devices via the companion mobile app DS file. HTTPS, SSL/TLS encryption, and link expiry dates also ensure file sharing over the Internet is highly secure.

Effective backup solution

Synology RS214 can serve as a centralized backup target. Whether you are a Windows or Mac user, you can back up everything on your computer directly to Synology NAS using Cloud Station. Whenever you modify a file, the changes are backed up to RS214 automatically. Mac users also enjoy native Apple® Time Machine support. You can also back up data from your RS214 to another DiskStation, rsync servers, external drives, or even Amazon® S3, Glacier cloud service, Microsoft Azure, SFR, and hicloud. "Backup & Replication" allows you to schedule backup tasks and restore the server to any particular point in time, while minimizing storage consumption and processing time by saving only the specific data block that has been changed between versions.

The most compatible sharing

Enjoy seamless files sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux® platforms as RS214 offers comprehensive network protocol support including FTP, SMB2, AFP, NFS and WebDAV. With Windows AD and LDAP integration, RS214 can fit effortlessly into any existing network environment - there is no need for IT administrators to maintain two sets of credentials. You also won't worry about missing files with the Recycle Bin feature which is supported on AFP, CIFS, File Station, and WebDAV. All files deleted in a shared folder will be automatically moved into the Recycle Bin.
