As a complete DLNA-DMS (Digital Media Server), the DS418j also serves as a primary media server that can host digital multimedia content for remote playback. Once connected to a router, the DS418j streams music, photos, and videos to DLNA-compatible devices such as TVs or DLNA gaming consoles, all without any prior configuration. The Synology DS418j can serve as a centralized backup destination. Whether you are a Windows or Mac user, all the content on your computer can be backed up directly to the Synology NAS. Once you modify a file, the changes are automatically backed up to the DS418j. Mac users also enjoy integrated support for Apple’s Time Machine.
You can also back up data from your DS418j to other DiskStations, rsync servers, external hard drives, or even cloud services. Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) is a thoughtful, browser-based operating system that makes managing your Synology NAS a breeze. With its intuitive user interface, it significantly simplifies access to and sharing of your data. In the Synology Package Center, you can download and install useful add-on packages specifically designed for individual or business needs—enhancing enjoyment for personal entertainment or boosting productivity at work.
