I’d personally opt to think that even 1Password through cloud sync is a more secure way to get passwords synced between Mac and IOS than the Bonjour DEVONthink solution in general. If you want to sync passwords through cloud between Macs and iOS, then something like 1Password is most likely a more secure choice than DEVONthink. I’ve read of some security groups studying possible weaknesses in the 1Password implementation, and them responding to it, etc. For instance, there’s probably a lot more expertise and auditing done for 1Password that for the generic apps. However, and sorry for saying this in a DEVONthink forum, I’ll add that from security standpoint I trust 1Password and AgileBits (the company behind 1Password) a lot more than general purpose apps such as DEVONthink or Day One that promise end-to-end encryption, which basically means that data is encrypted before it leaves the device and is stored to the cloud. I support the view that a good specific program such as 1Password is more convenient for the purpose it was made for. I use both 1Password (for passwords) and DEVONthink. The performance result inside my local network is higher than having some external cloud service to store my files. In my case I have a DS1019+ with 4 disks (SHR 1 disk fault tolerant) + 1 as spare with auto repair in case of disk failure), and 1TB RAID (1+1) eMMC R/W cache.

Then specifically deny access to that folder to other sinology accounts you could have in your NAS (I left access to my admin account just in case).


This is done in Synology Control Panel as well. Next is to create a normal user account with only access to the shared folder you are going to use to sync your DT.

This is similar to Windows Bitlocker or Apple FileVault On each NAS restart or you manually can unmount the disk and won’t be able to mount it without the password. IMHO this only can be done if your Synology is formatted with BTRS file system. Next step is create a shared folder in Control Panel with encryption. Then you can access via fixed IP inside of your network or via Synology DDNS (or similar) with HTTPS. THis is a little bit critical thing because you need to specify where you are going to access from to avoid warnings like (“this certificate is not for this site” or similar).
#Devonthink pro password install#
To have HTTPS enabled, you must go to Control Panel -> Security -> Certificate and install a purchased certificated or one done via Let’s Encrypt (that your Synology can renew automagically). You can even change the default port.ĭone that, all your NAS can be accessed via WebDAV, only by HTTPS. Enable HTTPS and disable HTTP in that configuration. You need to enable WebDAV service in your NAS (Install WebDAV Server package).
