Windows 10: Need to restrict Windows access to folder on Synology NAS but don't know how...

Our company has a Synology NAS that we all access over ethernet. I need to restrict one sub-folder on it to just a couple of users, and I would like to do this so that the folder access is authenticated using the Windows user login, so once the user has logged into windows the folder will just open and show contents if they have permissions and won't open if they do not.


I am unsure how to do this as it seems permissions get set for folders in the Synology dashboard, and that NAS has users that are different from the WIndows users on each PC. So wondering how to make the Synology permissions controllable through Windows.


I am a novice at this, and am not entirely sure how Workgroups work, but I imagine I could either add the two users I want to give permission to to the folder sharing settings on the NAS, or alternately make a Workgroup with the two users and then add the Workgroup to the NAS folder permissions?


Any help solving this is appreciated, thanks!

Getting access to my data on Synology NAS


Hi, I have a problem with my Synology DS211j – please any help would be appreciated:
I bought the Synology NAS about a year ago but after setting-up the NAS I had a stroke :-(.
I am now trying to re-lean my NASs but am struggling with my Synology:
I can see the NAS has two disk – a 1Gb disk “Not installed”, and a 2Gb disk “Installed”. As I think I should have some important data, I need to work out what I have on the 2Gb disk or possible even on the 1 Gb disk?
So the 2Gb disk says it is installed but I don’t know how to get to the data from the disk (and I’m trying to be careful so that I don’t lose the data)?
ny advise on the steps on get ting access to the date would be really appreciated!

 

Windows 10 File Explorer cannot access Synology NAS

I am using a HP laptop with Windows 10 Home and suddenly over the last several days a Synology NAS cannot be accessed from the laptop.

More information:

The version of Windows 10 Home - 1803

I have two other PC in the house and both can access the Synology NAS

I also have several Android tablets - they can access the NAS

On the laptop (with the issue) I also have a Synology management software product - It CAN access the NAS and open files

I originally mapped the NAS several months ago on the laptop and the mapped drives worked as expected until yesterday,

Yesterday I started getting messages saying "… the network path was not found." every time I tried to access/map the NAS

After several reboots of the laptop (yesterday) I was finally able to map the NAS, but only by typing in "\\ (NAS Name) \" before I started the mapping process.

This morning the same mapping (that worked yesterday evening) is not working and giving the same error message I saw yesterday morning.

Just to recap

Running laptop - windows 10 Home (1803)

Mapped NAS drives worked fine until yesterday

Synology management software on same PC can access the NAS and open files

Several other PCs can open files

I was able to re-establish connections yesterday by specifying the NAS name when I restarted the mapping

Today the mapping does not work (again).

 

Password is incorrect on mapped NAS folder

So, as of this week after the latest updates from Windows 10 I no longer can access a NAS mapped folder from both Windows 10 updated machines.

When accessing the mapped folder it states: "password is not correct".

Tried to logon with IP-address, i.e. \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\user or \\NASname\user or \NASname\user or user@NASname: did not work

I already resetted the NAS account: did not work

Redo the mapping: did not work

Set SMBv1 in Features: did not work

Automatically run several services as suggested on the internet: did not work

Set firewall and antivirus software to OFF: did not work

Created a new public share on the NAS with a new account: did not work

Updated the NAS to its latest version: did not work, Note: NAS is Synology DS1815+ with DSM 6.2.1

Used several complex Netsh commands as suggested on the internet: did not work

Set all shared features on ON in Network Services (were already on): did not work

Edited registry-keys as suggested on the internet: did not work

Restored a backup of Windows 10: did not work

So I don't know anymore what to do.

Note that the NAS can be accessed easily via HTTP and via FTP.

Also the media services from the NAS (video, photo and music) are accessed correctly.

So the only problem is with the folder mapping in Windows Explorer.
