This development has announced itself unnoticed for quite some time, because during research I came across the thread Amazon Cloud Drive Backup Discontinued from 9 months ago. Amazon AWS S3 buckets, which are used in commercial corporate environments, are not affected. So Amazon Cloud Drive has died in its previous form as a backup solution for owners of Synology NAS drives. German magazine Heise states that 'Android emulation' is possible as a stopgap solution – I can't evaluate that at the moment.

There are no Amazon apps available for Synology NAS backup that can even store and manage data it.

However, the Synology applications do not work anymore. With the Amazon apps, the data is uploaded unencrypted.

Synology's Cloud Sync and Hyper Backup applications store the backups encrypted in Amazon Cloud.However, this has two disadvantages for the respective Synology NAS drive owners: Amazon's proposal is to use Amazon's own apps such as Amazon Photos or Amazon Cloud Drive to make NAS backups (see also the Amazon Cloud Drive ad above). The following screenshot of the email is taken from this article.įrom November 1, 2020, access to Amazon Drive files will only be possible via Amazon app. Amazon is currently informing its users via email that support for Synology Cloud Sync and Hyper Backup features will be discontinued as of Novemwithout replacement. This is due to the fact that the required Amazon API will no longer be available to third-party users after this date.

Uploading encrypted NAS backups via Synology Cloud Sync or Hyper Backup to the Amazon cloud will be impossible after November 1, 2020. This is now over as Amazon is discontinuing the API used by Synology, and NAS backups are no longer possible with Synology tools.

Some users have taken advantage of this to store a backup of their Synology NAS drives encrypted on their Amazon Cloud Drive. Amazon itself advertises 'Digital content – securely stored, available anywhere. Using an Amazon account, files and folders can be transferred, synchronized and managed from multiple devices such as web browsers, desktop applications, cell phones and tablets. The service provides secure cloud storage, file backup, file sharing and photo printing. Amazon Drive, also known as Amazon Cloud Drive, is a cloud storage application managed by Amazon.
