Start with my first Synology video for the basics. It's an older video but I run through the offsite syncing and cover the basic functionality:

What I've always liked about Synology's products is that the devices function the same at both the low and high ends of their product line. Obviously with the limited RAM and processor on this device you'll be limited in how much you can do, but most of the key features are here. It's a great starting point and easy to migrate to higher end devices in the future.
I found in my testing that the device performed better than the 214se I reviewed a few years ago, delivering full gigabit throughput for both reads and writes. Using encryption will reduce that performance, however.
Be sure to check out my other videos in the playlist where I detail many of the features I mentioned in the video.
