Remove a shared folder from Synology Drive ShareSync, how?!

[zombiephysicist]

I'm embarrassed to ask this question, but how does one remove a shared folder that I no longer wish to share from the Synology Drive ShareSync window.

On the client side, a "Delete" button shows up so you can just click the share folder, and delete it and your done, as so:

The ShareSync panel is roughly the equivalent of the above desktop client, but runs on your Synology allowing synology-to-synology live share syncing. However, it has no delete button. So no obvious way to remove a folder or two.

I looked under the edit button and there was no delete option.

Thanks for any pointers!

Since I don't use ShareSync take this with a pinch of salt: wouldn't unticking the Enable box of the remote/local folder stop the sync'ing? With Drive client deleting the task will leave the client device's folder and files untouched (you clean up as you want).

Unfortunately no. If you refer up to the image of the ShareSync I have unticked 2 of the folders. That effectively stops the syncing. But there seems to be no way to delete the entry which is MAD!

I am fearing the only way to do it is to delete the server, add it back in with all he folders except the ones you do not want, and force an entire rescan! That just seems insane as a remedy.

Is the list in ShareSync all the Team folders from the Drive Server? So if you added a new Team folder it would then appear on the ShareSync?

I was just wondering if you get to see the full Team folder list of the server, and then choose which to sync. Similar to SMB in Mac Finder: you connect to the SMB server and get presented all your available shares, then you mount the one or ones you need. Obviously, this analogy falls down a little since SMB shared folders can be set to hidden from being listed.

The only way to test this hypothesis is to create a test shared folder on the Drive Server NAS. Then make it a Team folder. Does it appear on the ShareSync NAS?

I’m going to look tomorrow. I set it all up so long ago I don’t remember. On the Mac client you add them one at a time manually and I vaguely think it’s the same, but don’t remember for sure.

Hurray!, So, yes, by disabling it on on the server1 in the Synology Drive Admin folder, the folder options disappeared on server2 in the Drive ShareSync folder. Hooray! And thanks @fredbert !

But now I cannot delete THOSE folders in the team folder list on the server 1. You can just disable them. But I guess that makes sense that it will list all share folders, and show "not enabled" for things you do not want to sync as an option. And if you are not using it, one option is to delete the share folder completely.
