What about unlabelled fields? Try adding a Synology box to active directory for example. It isn't possible to associate AD groups with local groups. Or set the IP address! Oh that was lots of fun. Then set DNS on a completely different page. These things are really not accessible. I had to get assistance in several places. The firmware had been updated about two weeks ago. These are not good boxes in my opinion. The manual said when reset it would get a static IP of 192.168.1.1 but the 4U box went straight to DHCP! I wasted an hour trying to connect to it. Over all, I'm not impressed. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Steve Matzura Sent: Monday 18 July 2016 07:39 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Accessible Nas solutions? Mo, I'd like to hear what the problems you had with the Synology interface were, or are. I've been using Synology boxes at home for probably seven years now, first on a four-bay CS407e, now on an eight-bay DS1815+. While I agree the Web interface is the absolute definition of a kluge, I haven't found anything in its function set I can't get to, although, as I said, some of it not without having to scroll through lots of screens to get to the controls I need. Thankfully, most of those are at the bottom (relatively speaking, of course, considering the way screenreaders render browser content in the linear fashion that they do). That aside, I've found Synology's organization and arrangement of functions a little odd a ttimes, but generally accessible. On Sun, 17 Jul 2016 11:31:43 +0100, you wrote:
Hello Everyone.
Please forgive the cross posting. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the following. I'm thinking of purchasing a nas solution for my home so users files are backed up in real time. Ideally, I'd like a solution where all files are stored locally i.e to internal hard drives, and you can install a dropbox stile app on each computer and specify folders to automatically back up. QNAP, Synology, Netgear, DLink and Buffalo all seem to be manufacturing Nas solutions. I've tried Synology in the past and wasn't a huge fan of their web interface. You couldn't do a lot with it at all which is a real shame as the devices have a lot of functionality. My primary concern is web interface accessibility. It would be nice to have a manufacturer that provides a decent web interface and that take accessibility seriously to the point that they're not breaking things every 2 minutes. I could build my own but i've then got the concern of how reliable the real time backup apps are in a home made solution. So, in short does anyone have any thoughts on which devices you've found to be accessible/reliable? iOS and android access is not essential. What web interfaces have you been able to access with screen readers? I look forward to your thoughts. Many thanks in advance for all comments, I'll do my best to respond but may not respond to everyone individually.
All the best,
Mo.
