NAS
ds218+
Operating system
  1. Linux
I try File station, select folder on left, click upload, then upload skip or upload overwrite;

or right-click in folder, upload, upload skip or upload overwrite


In the dialog box, I'm not able to select folders, only files


I have a ds218+, dsm 7.1, OS Linux Mint 21 cinnamon

I have searched synology documentation and the internet about this

thanks

With windows 11...
  1. From DS using SMB mapped drive in Windows File Explorer to Windows 11 Desktop => SUCCESS copying file folders (drag and drop) with all sub-files.
  2. From DSM GUI with File Station to Windows 11 Desktop => file folders are downloaded as a single ZIP file containing individual sub-files.
  3. From DSM GUI with File Station to Windows 11 Desktop => several individual files together are downloaded as a single ZIP file containing each individual file.

Ok, I finally got this to work in
Ubuntu 20.04.

You have to do this for File Station Settings:
  • Always overwrite files when I drag and drop them onto Web browser or paste with keyboard shortcuts
  • Enable drag and drop between browsers
  • Enable smart drag and drop
  • and - Overwrite

THEN I could use Nautilus and the Directories would recursively upload.
Any other method, including "Upload" ONLY worked with files, never directories.

Hope that helps y'all

ALSO, Docker networks completely hose your access to the synology NAS. That took me a bit to figure out cuz I develop using Docker and/or Vagrant.
Vagrant VM networks DID not cause a problem.
