Transferring data between a QNAP and Synology NAS over distance

Any idea how to enable SSL and use an nginx reverse proxy with Synology Drive?

How to make one volume with maximal capacity out of the two disks in a 2-bay NAS without striping
cn flag

I have a Synology NAS with two disks which I want to combine to one large volume for backing up an other system.

I don't need redundancy, so something like RAID 0 would do. However I don't need the speed benefit of striping the data, but rather use the disks somehow one after the other, so that when one disks fails the data on the other is still readable. How can I do this?

How to make an 8TB protected SHR from a 4TB unprotected SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID)?

I have a 2-bay Synology Disk Station (DS220j) with a single 4TB Drive in it. There is a SHR Volume 1 on the system. It's currently without protection but it was prepared for another 4TB drive to be added.

As time passed, 4TB is not sufficient anymore and I'm wondering if I can upgrade the DS this way:

  1. Add a 8TB drive into the SHR and let it sync. The capacity will be still 4TB but now protected.
