- How to Access Files on Your Synology NAS via Windows File Explorer
The Synology NAS has a special configuration to allow browsing from your Windows network that is turned off by default. I'll show you how to configure you're NAS drive to enable the NAS storage to be visible in windows file explorer that might be missing. This works in Windows 11 and Windows 10 and any other operating system like MacOS, Linux.
Synology DiskStation DS1520+

Hope video helps you out, Drop us a LIKE 👍
Super Thanks bro. Love from india. I followed the steps and its done., thanks
This video helped, thanks.
Its also worth checking (using DSM 7.1.x) that if you are using WS-Disovery via SMB, that.. its Min. SMB 2.
SMB Settings > Advanced > the Minimum SMB is higher then 1 as Windows 11 no long supports SMB 1.
Thanks so much. This saved me heaps of angst. Very clear and complete. I only needed to get about halfway through - just to get to the part about where to find the 'create network drive' option in W11.
Great video, as usual. Straightforward & clear. Helped me a lot. Thanks! 😊
I have mine set up just like this anyway.
Side note on the newer version of DSM (7.0) the SMB, AFP and NFS have separate tabs and the WS-Discovery is at the bottom of the SMB tab.
Just encase someone watching this is looking for it. Otherwise its very similar.
Yeah, need to update
Absolutely great tutorial. Your instructions were clear and easy to use. I have tried following a few other tutorials for this and all of them left instructions and examples out leading you to guess what information was needed.
Ive done this numerous times, and they show up on my laptops at my home netwrk, but my main PC will NOT find the locations, i dont understand it. The drive shows up in the network folder and links to the browser inmterace, but i cant map a drive and also typing the \\location etc into file explorer doesnt find the drive. Please help
Same issue, any solution?
Maybe you guys have the non working comp set up to use the home network as public internet instead of private. Or maybe your windows workgroup name doesn’t match or something. Or you might need to enable smb service on those computers. Just some guesses
Thanks, this worked a treat! 🤩
Could you do something about self-hosting your password manager on your NAS?
Hello
Thank you for the great video!
Can you kindly confirm one thing. I have a Synology DS214play.
I have installed Synology using a RAID 1 configuration
and the file format was ext4.
Your video mentions that once the Synology drive is connected files
can simply be transferred from PC to Synology NAS.
Now the Windows PC files on my computer drive are formatted as NTFS.
I am confused about whether the file formats on Synology NAS and my PC are
compatible or if I need to format my RAID or other disks disks differently?
Or does copying files only work with an external USB drive formatted as NTFS?
Regards
When you are setting the permissions for the shared folders, you have 'Britec' showing. On my permissions list of users, my new (Windows 11) laptop does not show in that list, only my old Windows 10 laptop. I think this might be why I cannot map my Diskstation DS213+ to my Windows 11 laptop. How do you get a new Windows 11 laptop to be recognised by DSM?
Mr.Britec I have a doubt. Can you clear me the doubt?
My doubt is how can we copy files from a computer to a computer opened by remote desktop?
Or else how can we copy files from a computer to another computer opened by azure portal by remote desktop?
Great video. I've mapped a folder but as soon as I leave the office with my laptop to work on a different network it won't allow me to access the folder from file explorer. Any suggestions.
Question - I've just bought the DS920+ and am configuring. Can my movie files have spaces in the name before I copy them across
THANK YOU!! Saved me life.
Could you do a video tutorial on how to install Synology NAS as well setup Plex I like the way you explain things that's why I am eagerly requesting to you
great video. How can you select chrome as a default browser instead of edge when you use the synology assistant to access the NAS?
I can only log in from Windows 10 using a browser. I get the login dialog but it always fails. Login from Mac works as expected. DS918+ DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6. WS-Discovery is enabled.
My router has a USB port. If I plugged a disk drive into it, would I follow the same procedures?
Works for me perfect! but I cant seem to get more than 7.5 8 mb/s transfer even though NAS is connect with a hardline 100mbps max.. any Ideas mate?
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you have a guide to get the black theme on windows? I can't tell if you have transparency but, I like it as well
To enable the dark theme in Windows is pretty straightforward. I may have made a video already sometime ago
Thank you. Very helpful!
You're welcome!
I have updated Windows and now its asking me network credentials for the NAS, when typing correct DSM username and password, its not logging in :(
I'm getting this same issue. Is there a fix?
thank you, been tearing my hair out, i think both windows os and synology have been very unhelpful with this
You're welcome Steve. Glad up and help
do nas must be on the same network to access it or it is not required (sorry if my English is bad)
Thanks Brian.
You're welcome!
This is very good information, thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great...Thanks
Hi, I've Mapped my NAS before just like you've shown here, but everytime I drag and drop files, transfer rate will drop to zero then File Explorer basically freezed, together with my internet connection. (NAS is connected to router via ethernet cable, PC is on WiFi)
Transfer is fine if done via DSM (7.0)
Any chance you can help please?
Thanks!
can you access windows files from the synology nas? if so.. how? cheers!
When i click on network i can acces my Qnap and my Synology nas directly with all the maps on it.
Why do you want to make a virtual drive letter for just one map?
File structure, if you have a certain folder within 4 or five levels deep of hierarchies mapping is the way to go.
how can i excess the FileServer with Sonarr or Radarr from there?
Followed everything but it does not all it to be mapped ?
Trying to setup a new PC and it doesn't work doing this. It gives an error when I give the \\ location. About ready to throw this pc against the wall.
Same. It worked fine with my Win10 PC bupt with my new Win11 PC i can't find the NAS...
so the drive gets its own ip address?
thanks mate!
I see the mapped folder, but no sub folders! Hmm?
not sure what a nas is ??? sounds like some sort of backup box? I have 3 drives in my computer 1 with the os and a bit of my most used files
another that stores the rest and yet another as a backup drive ............. also I have a 2 gig usb backup disk.
All are accessible all the time ..............why need this complicated stuff ??
Its more than a backup device. You have no redundancy if one drive fails and loads of other things you can do with a NAS. Look it up.
Why you can't just open the Synology in Network and read/write files to it, LIKE I CAN WITH MY QNAP, beggars belief. Great video, though, helped a lot.
I map mine by the IP address and made the IP address static.
Yeah, you can do that as well.
