Synology integrates Content Collaboration and Deep Learning inviting the community to participate in the development process and the reformation of network storage.
Synology announced the Beta release of three major packages – Drive, Office, and Moments, inviting the Synology community to participate in the development process and the reformation of network storage. “Synology has been working closely with the industry, hoping to create an intelligent platform for users to securely manage their digital assets”, said Allen Kao, Director of Application Division at Synology Inc. “Drive, Office, and Moments are three additional packages to Synology’s Collaboration Suite, designed to reform the way in which work files and personal photos are normally organized”.
One portal for all files:
Synology Drive provides a unified portal to access work files across multiple platforms, including web browsers, local file explorer, and iOS/Android devices. What’s more, these files can also be seamlessly synchronized to your computer.
Key features of Synology Drive include:

- Integration with the powerful Synology Office and Synology Universal Search: Integrating Synology Office and Synology Universal Search, which provides business-grade full text search, Drive enables users to manage their Office data and locate desired files effortlessly.
Comprehensive office collaboration tools:
With the newly-introduced Slides, Synology Office enables you to present your business on the go. The existing Spreadsheet and Document have also been enriched with more options of self-defined rules and flexible layouts. Key features of Synology Office include:

Supported on iOS and Android systems, Moments helps you back up and classify your precious pictures without a hassle. Key features of Moments include:
