How much of a market is there really for those apps? They are competing against most consumers accepting the ease (and significantly cheaper) of cloud based storage.

We (in the tech space) can scream privacy and risks of the cloud all day long but most consumers seem to just not care.

I have 2 Synology NAS and the only app that I actually use is Synology Drive thanks to the sync app, but there are open source alternatives that would work better and not require a client on the NAS side to work.

I can't imagine any enterprise would be using these features.

Been in the market for a new NAS myself and I am going to be looking into truenas or keep an eye on what Ubiquity is doing in this space (but its a no go until they add the ability to communicate with a UPS).

Without the apps they have even less market though.

While true, that assumes that the engineering effort is worth whatever extra market they are getting from it.

I just can't imagine there is that many people that would bother with a "private cloud" that may not already have a use case for a NAS at home for general data storage.
