New Server for the office

@JaredBusch yeah I guess I see - you are talking about file locking and the live editing of the same document.
The files in question are rarely updated on both sides, very rarely. Definitely wouldn't be any conflicts as a result of two parties editing the same doc.
The more frequent use case is that someone dumps new docs in folder A and on the other side someone dumps something new in folder B and both want to see it. Someone would edit, finish a project forward in workflow to next person who would be able to see and edit it.
Is that something Synology does?

@scottalanmiller Maybe it was Panzura that was multi-master.

Not on its own, no. The problem with any situation like this is if someone "can" modify both at the same time. That it is rare doesn't fix the problem. It has to deal with it when it arises. If you are confident that the whole thing is ridiculously rare and you don't care about changes, you could script something yourself to handle it.
In a case like this, though, is having two NAS really the way to go? If so, I suspect Dropbox or Nextcloud or something could handle this.

I recommended two of them as Synology 1 (primary), Synology 2 (offsite replica/backup), and backup (cloud solution).

That probably makes the most sense. Just posing the idea that maybe none at all is needed.

No, single local storage method is needed (per earlier definition of need in the thread). So once you have a single local copy, you need to protect it.

@JaredBusch I think I am going to go with the primary onsite and secondary offsite approach. The full sync folder to branch office has never been critical, just always waiting for someone to solve this problem.
But honestly a more efficient organization of our data would be a better solution. Its just a lot to move around folder to folder.

There was a guy in here somewhere selling a use "scale" system that I am trying to find. I am sure it was in this thread. Please PM me.
