Multimedia Center at Home
The iPad, iPhone, and Android app "DS audio" allows DiskStation users to stream music stored on DiskStation with their mobile devices wherever Internet access is available. Media Server allows you to stream multimedia files with an UPnP Digital Media Adapter (DMA) to a stereo system or a TV set. Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft XBox 360 are also supported. iTunes Server is an easy way to share music with other iTunes clients over the network. You can use iTunes as a multimedia player to browse and play music stored on your Synology DiskStation.
Your 24/7 Download Server
Download Station functions as a 24/7 BT, FTP, HTTP, eMule, and NZB download center without a PC. The eMule and BT search engine allows search-and-download capability without installing additional desktop applications. The RSS feed feature brings the latest updates directly to you. You can subscribe to multiple RSS feeds that list the information of all your favorite downloads, and your download experience is entirely automated.
Back Up Your Precious Data
Desktop backup provides Windows PC users with the Synology Data Replicator for backing up desktop data to their DiskStation, while Mac OS X users can use Apple Time Machine to back up their critical data to DiskStation. Server backup includes several alternatives: Local Backup and Network Backup. You can back up data in shared folders or sub-folders, and choose between incremental backup options or other flexible scheduling choices. All can be easily configured with a step-by-step wizard, making it simple to create an automated backup solution.
Build Your Personal Cloud
With Synology DS212j, you can centralize all your data and files, and share with your friends and family within your local network.

The EZ-Internet wizard guides you through all the steps necessary to establish remote Internet access to your Synology DS212j. You'll be able to remotely access your DS212j anywhere within minutes – it's just that easy!
