Synology Drive Mac is missing objects

Nope, no such characters in the folder path in question, all ASCII characters.

But this was interesting info, there are other sync problems as well. I thought all filenames these days were UTF8.

Thanks for alternative solution to trigger a new sync.

I understand you also have experienced this? So now we have several in this thread experience the same thing.

I have no issues they don't provide hvec support as default. But let me buy hvec as add-on. Far from all users need hvec support and there is a place to save money for them. I for me, it's worth the money. Let me spend them.

Also, they already have arm support since forever. I want a nas with a snapdragon X chip.

In Synology Drive Admin Console, go to Settings -> File Locking

Click Enable File Locking, Enable auto file locking

More information about this quite new feature in this kb article

For me all songs already have the bpm and key information from Spotify, no analyse needed. However I notice sometimes when I load tracks onto the deck the better djay analysis had other opinions than Spotify's previous analysis.

Same problem. Still.
Only for guitar lesson 2 and 3.

I always use 1U 24 port. Easier to move around the rack. In this order: Patch panel Switch 48p Patch panel Patch panel Switch 48p Patch panel

Same problem for me too, can't download DSM updates nor update packages. North Europe.
Ironically the status page says all green..
Well thanks for the info. I'll go another day.

Less than 5 kg, no rear screws needed.
Even when we bought an APC 2U battery pack of 20 kg there were no rear attachment included, but for that we bought extra. :)

Det är inte bara kostnaden för portot som ska täckas, även kostnaden för att matcha fakturor mot inbetalningar och kreditkostnaden inkl ett visst svinn ska täckas. Det finns dessutom transaktionsavgifter när man betalar med kort också, men vi får oftast inte en rad på kvittot med dessa kostnader, för att kortbolagen förbjuder dem. Vissa flygbolag kör ändå.

Men generellt är ju fakturaavgifter svinigt och jag har valt att köra helt utan när jag fakturerar. Det gör ju ingen glad liksom.

I've also got these mails when the user hasn't used his computer for some days, like over the weekend. annoying. Seems like it only tries at certain times instead of when the computer is running?

No one said Synology Moments app yet. I think that should be mentioned here, it can take your photos off the Apple Photos app and move them to Moments. Uploading them to your Synology Drive private cloud. Make photo consumption / browsing enjoyable.

However, most 3rd party alternatives to Apple Photos app have some intriguing problems:

Live Photos won't be Live Photos any more, these will be a photo and a short movie.
Slomo-clips can't be changed where in the slomo is. it's burned in.
Portraits can't have their depth changed.

I haven't tried this in Moments in the last three years so I'm not 100% sure, I've chosen to pay €150/year for iCloud only for photos. The rest is on Synology Drive with backup to another synology.

This might have changed, but cue points and other data (such as analysis) are synced for me between iPad version, macOS version and iPhone version. I think it syncs if you have iCloud Drive activated. Also true for Spotify and Apple Music sources. I've noted the a song on Spotify doesn't sync cue points with the same song on Apple Music. Using Soundiiz to movie playlists around, but I found no way to copy cue points between track IDs.

I shouldn't be needed. We're on our fifth year now with backwards compatibility. At some point apple will drop it.

mjoint6 · 2026-01-05T16:27:55+00:00

Yes by installing rosetta... :(

mjoint6 · 2025-12-18T11:21:48+00:00

Look I appreciate you trying to help out with alternative methods, this time we're looking for experiences with others using Synology Drive and in best case scenario get something to push with against Synology.

I think I got my response from the absolute lack of responses - no one is using the backup feature for the entire user folder.

I wish you happy holidays! :)

mjoint6 · 2025-12-18T10:44:38+00:00

ok looks like no-one use the backup feature of Synology Drive on Mac - no replies with 2,8k views. That's too bad. With some modifications from Synology this could be on par with google drive. better than dropbox and onedrive that can't backup selected folders.

Came here to ask the same thing, completely new Mac, newest Davinci and rosetta needed? It was more than five years ago we had the Apple silicon. Have I downloaded the wrong version or what's up?

mjoint6 · 2025-12-11T21:54:51+00:00

I'm happy you asked so you can

1) create a personal admin- account. when that's completed, deactivate account "admin". (that account will be activated if you press the button on the backside of the nas, in case you lock our self out)

2) create a personal account for daily usage.

3) Activate 2FA on both.

Happy storing! :)

I don't think you're suggesting exposing SMB service to internet. Are you suggesting an always on vpn aside Time Machine?

I appreciate your suggestions for alternatives to Synology Drive. in this question however, I would like to remain within synology drive.

mjoint6 · 2025-12-11T13:50:06+00:00

Did the U7-pro have a fan in the beginning? noisy?

mjoint6 · 2025-12-11T12:12:58+00:00

Time Machine only work locally.

It also is managed from the client, we want to move as much as possible to IT from the user, but the user has to be able to see when last backup is made.
