Synology BeeStation Plus 8TB Intel Celeron J4125 4GB RAM

The Synology BST170-8T BeeStation Plus provides 8TB of built-in storage for families, teams and individual professionals who want to keep their files, photos and media in one accessible location. Its guided setup, private storage spaces for up to eight users and locally processed AI photo organisation make it easier to manage everyday digital content without relying entirely on subscription-based cloud storage.

Key Features:

• 8TB of built-in storage provides space for photos, videos, documents, backups and media collections.
• Supports up to eight users, with a personal storage area for each invited user.
• Local AI recognition organises photos by detected faces and subjects without sending recognition data to third-party cloud services.
• BeePhotos can automatically back up compatible iOS and Android camera rolls.
• Supports Time Machine backups for Mac and computer protection through compatible backup software.
• Plex Media Server support enables organised media streaming to compatible televisions, tablets and mobile devices.
• Built-in snapshot technology can help restore files to an earlier point following unwanted changes or ransomware.

Your Personal Digital Hub

BeeStation brings files from computers, supported cloud accounts and connected external drives together in one place. Files and folders can be shared with designated BeeStation users, with permissions available for viewing, downloading and uploading.

AI-Powered Photo Organisation

Back up photos from a compatible mobile device and browse them in a timeline or map view using the BeePhotos mobile app. Locally processed AI recognition helps you search for detected people and subjects, while filters can help narrow results by camera type or location.

Personal Storage for Up to Eight Users

Invite up to eight people to use BeeStation, with each person receiving a private storage space. Shared files and folders can still be made available to selected users with flexible access permissions.

Computer and Local Backups

Mac users can back up their computers with Time Machine, while BeeStation also supports compatible PC backup software. The BeeStation itself can be backed up to an external USB drive, another compatible Synology NAS or the optional BeeProtect cloud backup service.

Built-in snapshot technology provides an additional recovery option by allowing BeeStation to roll back to an earlier point in time.

Optional Home Monitoring

BeeStation Plus can support home monitoring with up to four compatible Synology cameras. Camera footage is stored locally, while custom detection options can provide alerts for events involving people, pets or possible intruders.

Media Streaming with Plex

Install Plex Media Server through the BeeStation web portal to organise and stream compatible media collections. Content can be accessed on supported televisions, tablets and mobile devices, while connected external storage can also be indexed by Plex.

Remote access and certain Plex Media Server features require a Plex Pass subscription.
