Can I set up some sort of "auto-sync" on my Synology DS213??

I've got a shiny new DS213 sat waiting for a couple of drives but when it's up and running I was wondering if it was possible to set up some kind of "auto-sync" to copy phone vidoes and photos to the NAS when mine and my wife's phones connect to the home wifi??

I recently had a scare where I thought I'd lost my photos etc due to a water damaged phone and want to make sure I've got a backup - but ideally it needs to be automatic!

Is there anything like this in the Synology software or can it be done by something like Dropbox??

Thanks for any suggestions....

Setup dropbox on each phone and a home pc making sure they all use the same account, then set your dropbox folder on the pc to your nas. Don't forget to manually move the pictures to a different folder now and again to avoid filling up your dropbox storage.

It's not automatic, but you coul have a look at DSFile which is synology app, it's deff on iOS, not sure about Andriod though

There certainly is an Android version

Thanks chaps!

I'll give both options a look! (Assuming of course the drives I want ever come into stock!)
