What is C2 Storage for Hybrid Share
C2 Storage for Hybrid Share is a cloud storage service used with Synology Hybrid Share to extend Synology NAS file shares into the cloud. It supports hybrid workflows where frequently accessed files remain cached on local NAS while the full dataset resides in Synology C2 cloud storage. The product targets organizations using Synology NAS that need centralized file access across sites with reduced on-premises capacity requirements.
Tight integration with Synology NAS
The service is designed to work directly with Synology Hybrid Share on Synology NAS devices. This reduces the need for third-party gateways or custom integrations to connect on-premises storage to cloud storage. Administration and access are handled through Synology’s management interfaces, which can simplify deployment for existing Synology environments.
Hybrid caching for multi-site access
Hybrid Share uses local caching on each NAS to keep active data close to users while storing the full dataset in the cloud. This can reduce WAN dependency for frequently accessed files compared with purely cloud-hosted file access. It also helps standardize access to a shared dataset across multiple locations without replicating the entire dataset to every site.
Offsite copy supports recovery
Storing the authoritative dataset in Synology C2 provides an offsite component that can be used when local storage is unavailable. This can support recovery scenarios such as site loss or hardware failure, assuming credentials and connectivity are available. It also reduces the need to size local NAS storage for total capacity when the cloud holds the full dataset.
Best fit for Synology ecosystems
The product is primarily intended for Synology NAS deployments and Hybrid Share workflows. Organizations with heterogeneous storage platforms may find it less suitable than vendor-neutral cloud file storage or backup tools. This can increase dependency on a single hardware/software ecosystem for core file services.
Cloud dependency for full dataset
Although local caching improves performance for hot data, access to cold or uncached data depends on internet connectivity and cloud availability. Large restores or first-time access to large datasets can be constrained by bandwidth and latency. This can affect user experience for distributed teams with limited WAN capacity.
Not a full backup suite
Hybrid Share and C2 Storage focus on hybrid file storage and sharing rather than comprehensive backup policy management across endpoints, SaaS apps, and diverse infrastructure. Features commonly expected in dedicated backup platforms (for example, broad workload coverage, advanced retention/legal hold, or extensive third-party integrations) may require additional Synology or third-party products. Buyers should validate whether their recovery objectives require capabilities beyond hybrid file storage.
