Sync pdfs to Synology server (leminal.space)

Hi, Does anyone have a solution for this problem: I use the remarkable to view sheet music. I also take extensive notes during practice. I would ideally like to just point the device at a folder on my NAS and have it sync once connected to my home wifi, in both directions (new pdfs from the NAS get copied to the RM, notes taken during practice get copied to the NAS). If there is no solution for that, maybe I could use a PC as a sort of "middle man" and sync it when the RM gets connected to the PC? If that doesn't work either, can this maybe be done via the dropbox intergration? Obviously I need to install additional software, at least for solutions 1&2. I'm not scared of the command line, so any solutions involving that and maybe even a bit of bash scripting are totally welcome.

Would Syncthing with for you.

Install it on the NAS and your PC, when you save a change Syncthing will copy the file to any other linked device.

So i set up syncrhing today and it works. The problem is: The Remarkable uses a proprietary format for all the notes I take instead of just saving them in the pdf. So my backup is basically useless because if my Remarkable fails I have no way of getting my notes back. I searched for external software to convert the notes to pdf but it doesn't seem to exist.
