Easy attachment of Synology shared folder as network drive on Windows
Hello,
When I started with my Synology DiskStation 207+ I had the problem with Windows losing the connection to my shared folders on the DiskStation.
Sometimes it simply just said that I used an incorrect username and password - eventhough I had written the correct username and password when I set up my network drive.
I found out that by creating a user on the DiskStation with the same username and password as my Windows User the problem stopped. You actually don’t have to logon to the drives after this “fix” – you can just simply access it by adding the network drive or by the default network address. Of cource you have to give the new user the correct rights, but after this is done it works perfectly.
This way you can also control the different users on your Windows-machine and give them different access on the Synology DiskStation. Easy as hell :-)
Have a nice try !
