When we say policy, we are referring to what you are allowed to access or not allowed to access as a group member. Any contradictions in policy usually result in the more restrictive policy taking charge. Next, we will create a user. It is important to make sure that you either give the same rights to both the user and the group or choose to use the group policy for your new user. Keep in mind that the more restrictive policy will win out if the multiple policies conflict. Allow the new user to access Folder A to simplify the process.
It is important to make note of your username and password for your new user. We recommend writing it down on a piece of paper beside you until you have it memorized or can pass the information along to the person who will use the account.
You should also input your username and password in this tab. Please remember the password because it will be important for the next step in your Windows computer setup process. For now, you do not need to worry about any of the other tabs. Once your disk drives appear, click on the first one you see and then click on "Map Network Drive. Now, you should see a list that includes a mapped network drive, named Folder A.
Click on Folder A and then click on Map. You do not want to leave this box unticked because it will save you a considerable amount of time and headache in the future. There is no need to reconnect every time your shared drive starts up.
The same is true for the next page where there is a tick box that says "Open The Mapped Drive. Choosing to open the mapped drive will allow you to create a shortcut to the desktop quickly.
In any case, you will find the mapped network drive here in Windows Explorer:. Navigate to My Computer. You can click on the folder icon in your taskbar to open up this window. As a little bonus, we have added another section below for those who wish to attach or map your Synology NAS folders in Windows without the use of Synology Assistant. If you prefer not to use third-party software and installers, this manual method is your best bet.
The process is not difficult, but it may be best left for more seasoned users. The Synology assistant is great and easy to use. However, in our experience, there are glitches from time to time. These glitches may be caused by network settings or firewalls, but we are not completely sure of the cause for the issues.
It is also possible that glitches could be the result of a bad internet connection. Whatever the reason may be, we have provided some very easy steps to follow to get around these issues. Start the process by navigating to your Windows Explorer and right-click on Network, located on the left-hand side of the bar.
Before you proceed to the next step, you must find out a few things. From here, click on Properties. This should show the IP of your Synology at the bottom of the screen. The second thing you will need to know is the specific name of the folder you wish to map to or connect to with your Windows computer. In doing so, you will create an easy to use a shortcut to simplify the process of accessing the specific folder in the future.
Connect using the appropriate user and credentials you made with the rights to access this specific folder. And voila! You have successfully mapped a shared folder in Synology to your Windows File Explorer using a manual process. Download link below! Scroll down to the bottom of the list for the latest version. In addition to the latest version, all previous versions of the Synology Assistant are available too.
On the resulting screen, click on your operating system: Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, or Fedora. Easy peasy. Since the redesign of the Synology website, most supplemental NAS software has seemingly gone missing. This would be okay, except Synology has categorized its download based on its products. For example, you must select your product type and model number to find any associated downloads.
Further investigation through the drop down menus turns nothing up. I finally found the download that I linked above by clicking on the All Downloads link as illustrated below. By navigating to the root, you can then proceed to Tools then Assistant. But at the very least, my hope is that this blog post has helped you find what you were looking for today.
