From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not really understanding the use case. Why can't you take advantage of the NAS? I heard good things about Syncthing
It's a shitty Synology Nas with extreme slow speeds. That's only amplified by slow upload speeds when I'm not in my local network.
The main difference, and that's also the difference to the way Gnome handles cloud storage like GDrive, is that I don't want a network storage. I want integration into my file system, and I want automatic upload of what I'm working on. And I want the ability to say: this directory needs to be available offline. Without having to copy it from my nas to local storage and back again.
