Sync Synology NAS with Google Drive Without Data Loss: A Compare-First Strategy
NAS-to-cloud sync is powerful, but one wrong direction can delete everything. A Compare-first workflow makes NAS sync predictable and safe.
Synology NAS + Google Drive (or OneDrive) is the most common small business and home setup. The problem is that sync feels easy until a wrong direction, a cleanup in the cloud, or a timing mismatch causes massive deletions. This guide shows how to keep sync safe with a Compare-first strategy in RcloneView.
