Short guide for Syncthing after testing
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2016 3:12 pm
Hi, found new app released along with ADM 2.6.
Syncthing is an app for data backup and Sync. Thought it should be useful for sync data between NASes. (I have one at home and office )
Below are the simple steps I did. (All steps must do on each NAS.) Sharing with forum members.
1. Install the app "Syncthing" from App Central (of course, everyone knows...)
2. The app icon will appear on ADM desktop.
3. Click the icon and jump to Syncthing page.
4. There are Language, Help and Actions
5. You could get your NAS ID from "Show ID", do the same steps form 1~5 on your remote NAS.
6. Click on "Add remote device" 7. Paste the ID of your remote device. They will start communicating. 8. Once success, the device will be listed. The default folder called "Syncthing" under Volume 1, this folder is created once installed the app. Now you can start adding files to this folder via File Explorer or SAMBA.
Now, ready for syncing your data? Not yet! still need to do some more on port forwarding....
You could see the port info from app via App Central.
Please make sure to open the port forwarding via the ADM\Ease of Access\EZ router.
To open the port, you may refer to the doc. Cloud Connect and EZ-router. (ASUSTOR College lesson NAS221) doc here: http://download.asustor.com/college/en/ ... onnect.pdf
If you already have the Cloud Connect and EZ-router activated, you can add port from ADM, Setting --> Ease of Access
Below is port added successfully. OK~ now you can sync data from one NAS to another.
I simply got 2 same copies now! Nice app!
You may try to add another folder ... but I didn't try.
Anyone try it, kindly share ~~ Thank you!
