I know I can't be the only ones with these questions.....can someone PLEASE help???.
i am considering getting the CloudStor Pro NAS but had questions in 2 areas.
1) sync options - It sounds like there are some issues with ActiveCopy and it only supports "copy". I am currently thinking of using SyncToy so that I can have both 1 way or 2 way synchronization, based on the particular folder. ie music and videos = 1-way, documents and shared files = 2-way. Would SyncToy be my best bet for now? Is there a better option? (freeware preferred, licensed option ok if it won't cost me too much with # of computers involved).
2) file resizing. The demo videos describe "automatic resizing" of photos and videos. That sounds good, but how do I allow sharing of original format files for downloading and printing? Is it just talking about the thumbnail views? Will the original hi-res jpg be available for friends to create good prints from? Also what about my hd videos? Is there anything that I need to do to not lose my originals?
Planned configuration:
Home = 3 windows netbooks, 1 windows desktop and 1 macBookPro
Remote (kids at college) 1 windows laptop and 1 macBookPro
Primary need is to provide easier backup for each machine. Secondary need is to share files bewtween users.
