My Synology...NAS SMB Tutorial

 

NAS SMB Tutorial


I am not an expert in NAS setup, my method is basic but works.

I have always used SMB with my Zidoo devices.

There are certainly better tutorials out there and I invite you to look on the internet for more information on all the possibilities Synology's DSM offers.

Thank you

----------

At the bottom of the page, there is a link to download the Zidoo tutorial which explains in addition to the SMB, the setting of your Synology with the NFS.

----------

let's start

Open "Synology Assistant" and start a search.

Your NAS will appear and double click on the one of your choice.

DSM of Synology will open




DSM is open, click on ''Panel Control''



In Panel Control click on ''File Services



Select SMB and click on ''Advanced Settings



In this window you have the choice to select SMB1 or SMB 2, it is your choice knowing that SMB1 is not recommended anymore





Then click on the tab ''Advanced'', check the following options and that's it for this part



Click on ''Share folder'' and ''Create''



Enter the name you want to give to your folder and a description, you can also uncheck ''Enable Recycle Bin'', click on next a few times...



...To this screen and click on ''Apply''




Your sharing folder ''TV Show'' is created

Click on ''Edit'', ''Permissions'', ''Permissions'' and check the box as shown on the image ....



it is finished



By going to the panel ''Network'' of win10, our folder ''TV Show'' is here, it is perfect.

​

Then, you are free to modify / edit other options, there are many tutorials on the internet.

----------------

let's open HT4.0 and I will create a new source with the folder ''TV Show'' available on my NAS D418 Value.





I select the ''TV Show'' folder



I enter the Username and password I use for my Synology DSM



I am in the folder ''TV Show'', it is empty, I did not put anything in it




Here is my way of doing things, hoping that I have not wasted your time and that it will help you.

One last thing, I disable the ''Hibernation'' mode of my NAS
