@@Triple_MI would strongly suggest you look up the 3-2-1 backup rule. Just some thoughts to consider, what if the drive fails, what if your house burns down, what happens if the NAS is stolen. I have a Synology NAS but still backup off-site.
I'm looking to switch from iCloud to a Synology NAS using Synology Photos, mainly for managing my photos and videos. With iCloud, I can have 1TB of photos in the cloud and still browse them on my 256GB iPhone without using local storage. If I move everything to the NAS, I'm concerned about managing new photos. After syncing the initial 1TB to the NAS, how do I handle new photos I take on my iPhone without iCloud? Will I need to manually delete them from the iPhone to avoid filling up the phone's storage? This seems like it could be cumbersome compared to iCloud’s seamless experience. Any tips or advice?
Yes , don’t do that !!!! Check for dsm 7.2.2. They are dropping hevc and heic support and it’s include synology photos. They nerf their feature to save a buck or two for the codec license .
I think my main concern is the manual work of needing to delete photos from my iPhone Photos app each time it is full? My understanding is that Synology app basically just uploads any new photos in the photos app each time it syncs. The photo that was taken however STILL remains in my phone physical memory. As I take more photos, all of it will merrily get synced to synology, until I run into the phone telling me I am running out of memory on my phone. After this, I will need to manually delete the photos from my iPhone photos app to free up space on my phone once again. Is this not the case?
@@Siewperman inside Synology photo mobile there’s a button for that , clean the internal space of the iPhone … basically every photos and videos that are sync to the NAS, synology photos will remove them physically from your iPhone.
Great as it may be to have a NAS to put your photos on, you still need an off-site backup of the data.
What do you mean? this is all on the nas, the login via quickconnect needs to go out to the web.

For your information , synology photos can manage your pictures on your device , you don’t need iCloud for that .
And apple by default use hevc and heic formats … so I’m screw like a lot of people.
