All our new friends and old friends are welcomed to stop by and take a look at our first appearance in the security market from May 11 to 14, 2009.

The Best User, Only in Synology

We never dare to say we have the best products in the world, yet there is something we are confident to say- Synology has the best users in the world.

Selling Synology products around the world, we endeavor to translate our documentation into local languages as much as we can. Synology’s multilingual websites also help users to read our product and service information thoroughly and quickly.

Beside that, there is a little more luck for us. An enthusiastic user from Denmark just helped translate our Mail Station user manual into Danish. We really appreciate this great effort, and thanks to this great effort, Danish users are able to read about our latest product in their most familiar language now.
