Protect your NAS data with zero scripting. Use RcloneView to connect Synology or QNAP devices directly to your favorite cloud storage—Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, or WebDAV—and schedule automatic off-site backups.

Why back up your NAS to the cloud

NAS systems like Synology and QNAP are perfect for local storage, media libraries, and file sharing—but they’re still vulnerable to theft, fire, or hardware failure. Off-site cloud backups add a critical layer of protection by ensuring your data survives even if your NAS doesn’t.

RcloneView gives NAS owners an easy way to automate that process, with:

  • No command line setup
  • Drag-and-drop transfers
  • Visual sync previews
  • Scheduled backups
  • Support for 40+ cloud providers

Stop juggling tabs and logins. With RcloneView, you can connect Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive into one simple, powerful desktop app—preview, sync, and organize all your files visually, without touching the command line.

Why unify your cloud drives?

Most professionals today store files across multiple platforms—team docs in Google Drive, shared folders in Dropbox, and personal files in OneDrive. Switching between tabs or apps breaks focus and makes data management cumbersome.

RcloneView brings these clouds together into one pane of glass, giving you total visibility and control over your files—regardless of where they live.

Stay connected—even when you’re not. Use RcloneView to sync your cloud data (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, and more) to a local or external drive so your files remain accessible offline, secure, and portable—no command line needed.

Why sync cloud data to an external drive

When you’re on the move—traveling, shooting photos, working remotely, or editing offline—you can’t always rely on stable internet. Having a local mirror of your cloud folders on a portable SSD or HDD ensures you can keep working, even without connectivity.
