Help with backing up phone data
Hi everyone. I recently bought a DS215j to offload some local storage things. Now, I'd love to be able to upload a bunch of files from my android phone to the disk station regularly, things like backups and photos. My problem is, I've failed to find a capable app.
DS Photo can upload pictures, sure, but I have two problems with it:
-
It just puts all uploaded photos into "Photos" instead of my "Home". I'm sharing this NAS with a couple of people and don't want them to be able to see my files, password protection doesn't feel like the right option either.
-
It only has the option to delete all local files immediately after upload, which is nonsense considering I might still need them offline. Google Photos has the nice option of deleting local content after 30 days automatically, I haven't found anything like that for Synology.
Uploading files like Backups etc. automatically doesn't seem to be possible either. There's DS Cloud, but I don't want to sync these files, I want them uploaded and removed from the phone. I tried playing around with Tasker and FolderSync, but it doesn't provide what I need. Has anyone found a good option for what I'm looking for? Thanks in advance.
