This morning the same mapping (that worked yesterday evening) is not working and giving the same error message I saw yesterday morning. Yesterday I started getting messages saying "… the network path was not found." every time I tried to access/map the NASĪfter several reboots of the laptop (yesterday) I was finally able to map the NAS, but only by typing in "\\ (NAS Name) \" before I started the mapping process. I originally mapped the NAS several months ago on the laptop and the mapped drives worked as expected until yesterday,

I am using a HP laptop with Windows 10 Home and suddenly over the last several days a Synology NAS cannot be accessed from the laptop. That extra investment has paid off as the screens are very intuitive, even more so than older web interfaces.Windows 10 File Explorer cannot access Synology NAS The nice thing is that Synology invested in building a user experience that is similar enough to Windows and OS X that most users will feel comfortable.

Interestingly enough, the fact that Synology has a simple workflow helps create more granular shares and access privileges. This is certainly an easy process to complete. This is an easy way to do things such as give users their own read/ write network shares but also directories that have limited write/ modify privileges but that many users can access. Here is an example where different users are given different access privileges. Synology Create New Shared Folder – Privileges Synology Create New Shared Folder Enable File Indexingįinally, once the share is defined access needs to be defined. For those wondering, indexing is a method that speeds up searching, especially when you have many files on the NAS. Synology Create New Shared Folder – Windows ACLĪgain, file indexing is a sparse screen. Synology exposes a single checkbox on the Windows Access Control List screen and provides a good amount of contextual information. All are relatively self- explanatory which is good. There are a bunch of options Synology exposes. The next step is to create a new shared folder. Otherwise, you will see the unit on the network, but not be able to access file stores. The next step is that you need to create shared directories. That is all well and good, but that does not enable sharing fully.

On these Synology units, this is a decent idea to check if you are setting the unit up once and forgetting it. The last tab is very simple, there is one text box. These tabs are not mutually exclusive with the Synology NAS platform. For those wondering, you can have both Windows and Apple environmental settings applied at the same time. Synology at least makes their units easy to integrate. With BYOD (bring your own device) rising in popularity, supporting multiple environments is a practical reality. Here you can setup not just AppleTalk zones but also Time Machine backup targets and Bonjour printing services. Of course, Apple has to “Think Different” which means on the Mac File Service tab we can do things like setup AppleTalk Zones. Key here is ensuring you have the correct workgroup settings. These settings are fairly environment specific, but in many environments the defaults will work. Opening that control panel brings up the Windows File Service tab. This particular guide is applicable to other Synology NAS units.įrom the Synology Control Panel, there is a Win/Mac/NF section. Synology has a nice workflow in their DSM platform that makes setting up shares very easy.Īs a quick background, we are using the Synology DS1812+which has been unboxed with its hardware exposed. NFS and CIFS are file-based and a foundation of the NAS market. NFS network shares is the Linux counterpart. In this guide we are going to focus on a CIFS (common internet file system) implementation which is commonly seen in Windows NAS environments. Some open source or command line NAS interfaces are less than friendly when one needs to setup a network share. Next, one needs to setup a network share. Having the NAS online is really the first step. Last week we had a guide to quickly set up the Synology NAS.
