Guys this is a difficult post to make. Firstly I'm suffering some health issues (hopefully slowly recovering) which means I've lost the last 3 months of my memory and prior memories are slowly coming back. During the 'lost' time it lokos like the NAS died with a failure message: Now that I'm...

When dealing with "flipping bits" (bit rot, phantom writes, or silent data corruption), ZFS is generally considered the gold standard and holds distinct advantages over BTRFS. ZFS treats data integrity as a fundamental rule, offering more comprehensive mechanisms to prevent, detect, and fix...

Hi all, I currently have my Volume (4 x 6tb) on a 918+ formatted to EXT4 file system and really don't have any issues that I'm aware of. I wanted to know what the efficacy of converting it to BTRFS file system. I'm very limited in knowledge in this realm. I mainly use the NAS to run PLEX and...

Up until recently my file station always opened in my preferred list view, but now it defaults to small icons. Is there away to force the default to list view.

I’m looking a a folder of files on my Synology which DSM says is 2.85 TB. I have the same folder mounted on my Mac. According to ‘Get info’ its 3.14 TB. Which is correct?

I had some file performance issues last year and enabled NFS (we work with video files ranging from a few hundred MB to a multiple GB), a whole bunch of files got uploaded to the HD6500 via NFS and we subsequently shut down the NFS share and used solely SMB. This caused the NFS files to not be...

Good morning, I recently installed the File Browser program from the community add-ons. I'd like to know why the installer says the available version is 2.32.-07 even though the official website (File Browser) lists version 2.53 (perhaps it's not suitable for Synology?). How can I update the...

Hi, I'm using ds file photo backup to backup my and my wifes iphone image gallery. This works like a charm, until today. For me, it's still working fine, but when my wife uses it it backups a couple of file and then the entire network goes down. Only way to fix it is to restart fiber converter...

I have followed this forum for some time, but untill now I have not had a problem worth mentioning, however... The saga started when I decided to migrate the drives from my 918+ to a 423+. All went well untill it tried to download dsm. It said that there was no space on the root file system. I...

I have 423+ NAS hyperbacks-up to 415+ offsite. It has been great for months but just had Checksum error (below) sent to me. Will hyperbackup just make the file again or do I delete everything and start again or...? Backup is huge and off-site, I would rather not start again if I don't have...

Hi all I need to host a file available to the web, for my email server. (Just working out and struggling how to do this.) It has to be located at mta-sts.my_domain/.well-known/mta-sts.txt as you can see its a text file, to help with email security. There is plenty of information around for...

Need to restore a file from Snapshot. Everything looks as expected EXCEPT the browse button remains disabled.

I am. And encountering a repeated crashing of the program: iPhone 15 & 18.6: Exiting or stopping a MP4 from any NAS, connected remotely from any ISP I’ve tried in 2 different states, WIFI, LTE, or 5G data: will maybe 1 of every 3/4 attempts, crash DS FILE? Popping up the “What were you doing?”...

In the digital world, not all letters are created equal. You’ve likely felt this, even if you couldn’t name the problem. Perhaps you’re a designer putting the final touches on a masterpiece in macOS. You name it something perfectly descriptive, like Project Árvore – Final Proposal (ü).psd. You...

Okay guys bear in mind I know next to nothing about networking. :) The DS918+ is connected to my Mac via a Netgear Orbi router. I've often thought that file transfer speeds are slow at times. This morning whilst backing up my forum (which resides on the NAS) I was averaging a transfer speed of...

Greetings, I have a Synology NAS DS920+ and I am very happy with it. I use Synology Photos to organize my photos. It would be useful to have simple editing options, like rotating photos left and right, adjusting brightness/contrast. I would also like to have an option to go to the actual file...

My HyperBackup are complaining nowadays, it says backup is incomplete due to a file being a symbolic link. This is not something I've done by myself so it has been done by the system in some way I assume. So, how do I get rid of this problem, anyone knows?

Hi Everyone, I am a new member on the forum. I have a question regarding File Station which I hope a fellow member can resolve for me. Some months ago I deactivated the default administrator and created myself as an adminstrator when I set up my NAS. When logged in as administrator, under...

I tried using Synology File Station to move my photo folders to the Synology Photos library folder. The total size of the photo folders is about 79GB. I selected the folders and dragged them to the library folder. The system estimated that the process would take about two hours. While the files...
