Synology gives us the opportunity to save important data on different Cloud services via its excellent application called Hyper Backup. Many of you have asked me: which Cloud service is the best? The answer is simple: Synology C2. And I will tell you why.

As you can see in the screenshot above, Synology Hyper Backup offers the possibility to backup important data in different Cloud services as described below:

• Synology C2 Cloud Backup – Native Synology support, 100% compatible.

Why I chose Synology C2 Cloud over other Cloud services?

• Native support: Synology C2 cloud backup is built into Synology’s DSM, so it is very easy to set up using Synology’s Hyper Backup application. Here is a complete tutorial for setting up Synology C2 cloud backup.
• Other Clouds discontinued their services: Services like Amazon drive discontinued their Cloud services to Synology NAS users. So, for those of you who want to challenge fate, are you ready to redo your backups?
• Cheap plan: 100 GB plan starts from only €9.99 / year.
• No hidden fees: Synology charges no additional fees besides the subscription cost. File upload, restoration, and browsing are always free of charge on your Synology NAS, through the PC client, and using the C2 web portal.
• 30-Day Free Trial: Each Synology Account can activate a one-time 30-day free trial. Try all the great features that C2 Backup offers before deciding whether Synology C2 is the solution for you.
• Two different cloud locations: Germany and USA.
• Military-grade encryption: Enable client-side encryption and make your data unreadable before it leaves your device with advanced AES-256 and RSA-2048 encryption. A password-protected private key for each task ensures that neither Synology, nor any other person or organization can decrypt, access, or modify your data.
• Synology Brand: this means quality and safety.
