True 2-way sync?

[licht77]

Hi guys!

I am playing around with my QNAP NAS and wonder how to implement a real 2 way synchronisation.

The goal:
I want to keep special folders on my android devices (eg. /mydocuments) in sync with my NAS - and access them from my computer eg. via samba.

The "old" solution:
[Android] <-- App "Dropsync" --> [ Dropbox Account (i know...)] <-- Clouddrivesync App --> [NAS] <-- "SMB" --> [PC]

Well so I pulled up Qsync for this "new" solution:
[Android] <-- "App Qsync" --> [NAS] <-- "QsyncClient" --> [PC]

But this solution has several drawbacks:
1. It seems that I cannot access the Qsync Folder via Samba - but ok, there is the Windowsclient. So I have to store that data locally on the PC too, but who cares.
2. Qsync doesnt seem to do REAL 2-way sync: When I create a file on android, it ends up on the NAS as planned. but when I delete that file (either on android OR NAS) it does NOT delete the file on the other device. I found the switch "intelligent delete" but that doesnt seem to do that trick.

I started googling and found GoodSync, Syncrify etc.

What is your solution to keep your mobiles files in sync with your NAS?

Noone using a 2-way sync? Or did I post in the wrong part of the forum?

Help please.
I bought this product because I thought that it is a innovative NAS system but syncing between different devices is really really poor.
On my Synology I had the possibility to sync between several devices in two directions.
I couldn't find a way to sync several directories on several devices for example IMac, Windows, Linux <---> Server <---> Android devices.

Can someone help please!

Qsync has 2 way syncing but you have to make sure not to check certain boxes in your Qsync Central app. I chose Central Configuration Mode so that I can choose my settings for all my Qsync clients from Qsync Central and then I made sure not to check "Apply the synchronization configuration from the default settings". If I had checked that box then the syncing would not be 2 way. Right now I just deleted a file from my phone's Qsync folder and it deleted the from the nas Qsync folder.
