Good evening everybody,

I've got a problem with the Synology Drive Client I installed on my System.
I want to create a new sync task with a folder, which is on a different drive than the one, Linux was installed on.
Unfortunately I am unable to change the standard folder / drive which determines the storage destination.
The screenshot attached shows the only options to choose from. I can't even change the root folder to see a different file tree.
I've tried to create a symlink, but it did not work either, since it wasn't recognized. I've read that symlinks aren't a good option to use in the Synology Drive Client either.

Does anybody have an idea how to be able to sync on a different drive?
Maybe using a different tool for that case?

My operating system is Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS).

If there is any other information required to help in that case, please feel free to tell me.
Looking forward to your help! Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Schewa
