Synology has released BeeDrive, a compact data hub that can back up files and photos from your computer, phone, and tablet simultaneously.
According to Synology, any PC user can begin protecting their files with BeeDrive in less than three minutes of setup. It offers fast local transfer speeds while maintaining complete data privacy and ownership.
BeeDrive Features
Local PC and mobile backups decrease backup times and long-term expenses
Once connected to a PC, users can choose which folders to keep safe. BeeDrive automatically backs up all folder changes in real time, providing a superior recovery point objective (RPO) than hourly scheduled backups. On BeeDrive, backup files are stored in the same format as they are on PC. In the event of a computer malfunction, users can simply connect BeeDrive to another computer and access their files without installing any software or undergoing a lengthy recovery process.
BeeDrive additionally backs up photos and videos from iOS and Android devices over Wi-Fi, protecting both smartphones and tablets. Simply keep your BeeDrive-connected computer and mobile devices on the same network and scan a QR code, and BeeDrive will begin backing up your phone to free up space.
BeeDrive is 11 times faster than backing up large files to the cloud from a PC and six times faster than doing so from a mobile device due to its ability to circumvent bandwidth restrictions imposed by internet or cloud service providers.
BeeDrop and two-way sync increase efficiency when transferring files between devices
BeeDrop enables the wireless transfer of mobile-generated content from iOS and Android devices to BeeDrive for field personnel and other professionals who take a lot of photos on their phone and need to use them on a PC when they return to the office. No longer must files be uploaded to and downloaded from the cloud before they are accessible on a PC.
When switching between work and private computers, BeeDrive can help synchronize files on each computer as soon as it is plugged in, ensuring that all files are always up-to-date on the computer you are using while storing a backup copy on BeeDrive.
David Hu, product manager at Synology Inc., said:
Every one of us is generating an unprecedented amount of data on various personal devices today. Better cameras and new photo or video formats, in particular, are eating up our phone or cloud storage space faster than ever. Internet upload speeds never caught up with the explosive growth in personal data, making it increasingly slower and more costly to store all our files in the cloud, especially if we just want to back up or archive old files elsewhere or exchange files between our personal devices. This is why we want to offer a local, private alternative. With BeeDrive, we hope to bring Synology's expertise in backup technologies to a larger group of users — many of whom are perfectly computer-literate, but have neither the time or the networking knowledge to host a server that runs 24/7 just for backup. BeeDrive offers a no-hassle option even for the families and friends of current Synology users. Collecting files generated from all our personal devices is just the first step. In the future, we hope to leverage the abundant computing resources of a computer to help users extract more value from the data itself, such as through auto-categorization. It is always our goal to bring modern technologies to Synology users without sacrificing their data privacy and ownership.

*Variables such as file types and sizes, host devices, Wi-Fi speeds, cloud service providers, and other utilization conditions can impact the rate of data transfer. When testing backups to cloud services, 100Mbps Internet upload bandwidth was utilized.
