User Case:

I would like to sync all my Synology photos to Google Photos no matter in one-way or two-way. My cloud sync app offers sync options like Google Drive and Google Cloud Storage, but no Google Photos option. And my Google Photos can’t sync with Google Drive so my cloud sync app cannot help me. Is there any easy way for Synology cloud sync Google Photos?

The Synology sync Google Photos operation can be so easy to achieve. You can follow this full guide to use a professional cloud-to-cloud sync service, MultCloud, to sync Synology to Google Photos successfully.

Why Need Synology Google Photos Sync?

Synology NAS and Google Photos both can keep your data safe, but they have different drawbacks that drive you to use them together. Synology NAS is connected via a private computer network. These on-premise networks and their data are easy to be damaged. Files stored in Synology NAS need to be backed up to other places to prevent ransomware.

On the other hand, Google Photos is a common cloud storage service that may be attacked by malware infection. To apply double security protection to your online data, you can choose Google Photos NAS sync.

If you use Google Photos and Synology NAS at the same time, it would be best for you to sync Google Photos to Synology NAS and vice versa. By doing so, your photos and videos will be safely backed up in two online storages. If one of your clouds breaks down, there is always a backup version in another cloud. Therefore, you can follow the guide below to let Synology sync to Google Photos seamlessly.
