I had noticed an error in my CloudSync as below, is it because it a ZiP files ?



Thanks

What's the error message? By right it should not be an issue for zip files to sync.

Google Cloud: We do use some SolarWinds, but we weren't affected by mega hack

Hope really not affected. Otherwise the biggest data breach ever.

if you haven't started the journey of building your NAS, you should seriously consider Synology being a strong advocate for them because of its reliability and ease of use OS. If you are technically incline, suggest you get the plus models ie DS220+/DS420+/DS720...... and the list go on, coz it x86 architecture good for dockers and more. Nowadays we all have "good" internet most of the time anyway if you are in the city area. A simple NAS with mounted cloud drive i.e google/dropbox/box will give access to more space than you will ever need especially you are wiling to shell out for a single user google enterprise account for now is still unlimited after the change to google workspace, business accounts has be capped and probably lose the unlimited storage sometime down the road. look up rclone to do file transfers. some chinese group released gclone some time early last year which bypasses the 750gb daily limit. unfortunately, it now late in the day and google has capped it down to something like 2TB daily. many have been moving hundred of TBs for the longest time but like all good things must come to an end

is a fact synology OS is just a very polished *nix GUI. Looks pretty and easy to setup, they follow the Apple philosophy, keep it simple, less is more strategy. well try out their demo at demo.synology.com you will see how fantastic their OS is. I am in no way affiliated to them but have started using Synology since day 1 and have been very fond of their products and services.

thanks a lot for your recommendation.

just so happened i have few old computers, so thinking to play around with the parts, those pc were quite powerful spec for few years ago, around 6k to build them, i think they should be good enough build a NAS.

synology is very tempting if i dont have spare pc parts to begin with.

hopefully i can assemble the NAS hahah, i watch and read some guides on internet seems like we have to apply thermal paste on processor, sounds so hard for me. my hands are very cacat to do handcrafted things.

sure no probs... here is a suggestion, since your got quite powerful spec parts... sell them i am sure somebody would want them. then buy a synology... lol j/k enjoy your journey is NAS building. cheers

Seriously, that is one of the most easiest thing to do for PC assembling.
If you not confident on assembling PC components, you can pay any PC shop to do it for you. It is just for one time job.
Most of your time will be spent on software side. Prepare to spend hours to configure everything. A lot of IF this THEN that.

ar just noted there's pup-up when hover at the events warning... said restricted due to illegal contents sokay it just an installer for my vape mods

Means Google also scan the content of zip files that's uploaded.

guess not can upload in Google Drive but cannot in NAS

You mean NAS that won't upload the file? If you use your PC with GDrive, can upload the file. But only it won't be downloaded into NAS?
I found this same situation but with Dopbox
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ins...ver/td-p/458051
Maybe Synology are over restricting or follow the cloud provider requirements. Can try rename the file or set password to encrypt the file, see it that can bypass the restriction.

Yes I can upload into GDrive but NAS not downloading it

Nice info you got there, can noted later that better not do this with *.exe files

Should I change the port number from default as suggested by Security Advisor ?




How do I know which number to use

Default is 5000 and 5001 if not mistaken. Control Panel > Network > DSM Settings to change DSM ports

Advisable change since hacker will target the default port.

yes indeed so how could I know the new number will not interfere with other port

Port numbers can run from 0 to 65353. Port numbers from 0 to 1023 are reserved for common TCP/IP applications and are called well-known ports. You should avoid using these ports. Above 5000 should be more safer. You can check at Control Panel > Firewall > Edit Rules to make sure built-in apps not using the port number that you will assign to DSM. Google it too to make sure it's in conflict with other important usage.

ar like that.. ok noted
