The situation is this: there is a NAS (Synology DiskStation), 1 computer and 2 laptops. It is necessary to synchronize certain folders between all computers. It is possible for the NAS to be the central node.
The requirements are as follows:
1. Fast synchronization
2. Correct synchronization (checking the date of modification, etc.)
3. Automatic synchronization when changing (deleting, adding) files in a folder on any device
4. NAS is always online, but it is not available from laptops always available (laptops are not always at home). It is necessary that when you come home and turn on the laptop, all the changes made during the day are synchronized and get on the NAS and on the other 2 computers when they are turned on.
5. Each device must have an up-to-date full copy of the folder (several folders)
Additionally:
1. Files in a folder will not be changed simultaneously from several computers. Those. you don't need to merge anything.
2. Files of completely different types (text, pictures, anything)
3. The program can be both free and paid
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Synology in the latest firmware, if I'm not mistaken, has its own Cloud and a program to work with it. perhaps this will suit you (something like an analogue of Dropbox) www.synology.com/dsm/home_file_sharing_cloud_station.php?lang=rus

BTsync (supports NAS)
or SyncThing. exactly what you need.
Synchronization starts automatically (or by hand if necessary) as one device sees the other (there is a built-in tracking mechanism) (at least through the Internet, you can configure "only through the local area")
Just so that there were not a cloud of files, not hundreds of gigs, otherwise it slows down terribly . For a few tens of gigs, it's fine.

I'm not entirely sure...
But if you use Windows, and the NAS is mounted as a remote drive, then perhaps an experimental build from dropbox will help you.

Sorry, but I don't use Windows, so I'm not entirely sure how this experimental build works - it definitely doesn't work on Linux :)

it is not very clear from the requirements what class of software is required. Due to ambiguity, I can offer windows live mesh.
