Synology NAS bidirectional sync with SharePoint Online Team site

Hi,

I would like to sync my Synology NAS folders/files with my team site documents library in Office 365(bidirectional). Cloud Sync offers loads of capabilitys for cloud platforms, but none for SharePoint Online.

Is there any way how this can be accomplished, concerns aside as I am already aware of this.

Regards,
JP

Yes that is what I am doing currently. But looking for a way to sync the sharepoint folder with another folder on the pc. So basically folder to folder sync. You know of any freeware that will let me do this?

Its Office 365, SharePoint Online. What I thought of doing is using a dedicated pc, sync the whole SharePoint library, then setup a folder to folder sync somehow to the NAS, perhaps by use of the Synology Cloud Station server applet?

If you give the PC direct access to the NAS as a mapped drive, you should be able to sync straight from that PC.
The Cloud Station app is, I think going to be a dead end.

Did you get anywhere with this?

Davis,

This is not the correct answer as when attempting to sync (which sets up ongoing syncing) from the Sharepoint online instance of the folder, you receive an error message: Your Onedrive folder cannot be created in the location you selected. I presume that is because the location mapped to with a drive mapping is on a NAS.
