Help setting up Synology

Try this:

1. Set up a specific user name and password to acess files on your NAS.

2. Create a shared folder using the DSM interface on the Synology. Make sure you give read/write access to the user name you set up. 

3. On the US - go to the network share option under system setup and add a network share. This would be the shared folder you created. Maker sure you add the user name and password you set up. 

Thanks for your reply Richard. I need more specific help.  What's the DSM?  I created a shared file using "file station" tab. I've given the file read/write access.  UnitiServe can't see it.  

Do I need to intall another app like the Media Serve?   DSM app? 

DSM is the user interface that you use to access your Synology (DSM stands for DiskStationManager).

My suggestion is that you create  a new user (that's what I did because using the "main user" that was what I previously used did not work). Do this using the user tab/icon on the control panel icon on the DSM interface.

Then click on the new user and make sure that there is read/write access to the shared folder you are using (my step 2 in my earlier post)

Then step 3.

I don't use a special username and password on my Synology, and my UnitiServe sees the shared folders there just fine.  It 'logs onto' the UnitiServe as the guest user. 

1.  Create shared folders using the Shared Folder creator in Control Panel.

2. Be sure to give all users (including Guest) both read and write abilities for those shared folders.

3.  In the Mac/Win/NFS tool in the Control Panel, be sure that in the Windows tab Windows file service is enabled, and that the Workgroup name is NAIM.

If all of this is done, your UnitiServe, when you tell it to scan for new shares, should see the shared folders you created.

I enabled some of the windows file sharing options.  Now it works.

Thanks for all of the help. 

Great!  That was the step that tripped me up the first time.
