Drive client Q.

[Ebolisa]

Hi,

I created a folder (SharedFiles) on my win11 PC and it syncs fine with my NAS unit trough Drive Client. Every time I update a file within the mentioned folder, it updates accordingly.
Therefore, the Drive Client is acting as designed.

However, when I get into the SharedFiles folder with the browser, it takes loooong time to list files.

I tried using the the NAS' ip and/or the Synology's remote account name in configuration (in Drive Client) with no avail.

What did I do wrong?

TIA

Accessing via browser, how exactly?

• What browser?
• Local LAN or over the Internet?
• If it's over the Internet, what method?
• Are you using the Drive web app or Files Station in that case?

Sorry for not being clear.
I meant getting to my files stored on my PC (synced with Dive Client) with the file browser.

This only further opens up more questions. What about all the other questions?

What browser?
Win11 file browser, no web browser nor internet use. Just connection trough my home network.
I've no issues getting to the NAS viewing shared folders trough the file browser or connecting to the NAS using a web browser with a local ip: 192.168.1.250:5001

Are you using the Drive web app or Files Station in that case?
I'm using just Drive Client running as a service. As I mentioned in my first post, I've a "shared folder" on my PC which syncs with the NAS but, getting to it with my PC is slow. No other problems with my PC of other folders on it..

Thank you!

Geeting to it how? If you said that:

I've no issues getting to the NAS viewing shared folders trough the file browser

So, what exact method is the issue here?

Can we get a screenshot maybe?

 

[Ebolisa]

I see I've a communication issue here )
As they say, a pic is worth 1.000 words...
So, here it is..
The SharedFiles folder in the picture is the one which causes a large delay in opening when I want to view a doc/file stored in it.

Ok now we are getting somewhere.

So if you have that location configured with the Drive client using the NAS local IP address, the first suspect would be the actual content structure and number of files inside it.

So browsing that same Drive content on the NAS side (the one being synced) is working fine?

If you mean by "working fine" I can get to and view the files with no delay, then yes!!

Using a web browser (Firefox)... nas_ip:5001 -> synology drive -> team folder -> any folder -> any file. right click -> preview

However, as I said earlier: using win11's file browser -> c: drive -> SharedFiles folder -> lot of delay!!

Well that sounds like a local WIN OS issue of some sort imho... not sure what to say.

How many items are in there? What happens if you list that folder location via Command line (CMD)? Does it list fast?

Interesting approach!! Using the CMD command and "type doc.txt" to view a file within the SharedFiles folder, is fast!!So, it narrows done to the file browser? not really as I have no issues with other folders which are not synced the the NAS.

How many items are in the folder?

 

[Ebolisa]

How many items are in the folder?

Too many to count but at least 56GB of files.

Removed the Drive Client from my PC and re-installed it, erased all the (shared) files on the NAS and unlinked the client. Created a new sync connection and all seems to be good.
Thanks much for helping!!
