Hi andrew. When you say it doesn't have the same kind of sync app, have you tried others? I am thinking of going for a western digital one. I believe they have an app for syncing. Cheers, Mo. Andrew Hodgson <andrew@hodgsonfamily.org> wrote:
Hi,
I also use the Synology stuff including the Dropbox style app to sync files from laptops to the NAS. That works remotely for me so I can have specific folder like music synced.
The web interface is really nasty, there's no way of getting round that. However I don't believe any other unit has the same sync type app that Synology has, and that is a primary factor for me.

Hmmm, I tried a demo once on a virtual private server I subscribed to for a month, and they announced going out of business before I could get into their billing area to request cancellation. That version of DSM they had, probably from some iso or something out around the net, was next to useless with JFW and probably worthy of the cancel button for me. Once Silicondust finally releases their DVR software, think it might still be in public beta for a fee, I want to get one of their networked tuners and one of the supported nas solutions their server program works on to hopefully put the how to record TV accessibly issue to bed once and for all. I think the developer of this app called Channels for the new Apple TV will be tying into it when he can, and the other platform I know to be accessible besides WD, the RaspberryPi might not be powerful, or USB not fast enough, to grab those streams from the network and get them on disk. I heard that the pi's networking actually uses USB, so I could be expecting to fit too much through a small pipe there, if streaming and storage both have to get through it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Nestrud" <ccn@chrisnestrud.com> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2016 5:58 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Accessible Nas solutions?
The Synology DSM web interface has been made far more accessible recently. I'm using it with good success. DSM also offers ssh commandline access, and uses standard Linux tools such as LVM behind the scenes.

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

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.
