Apr 06, 2018 · We’ve shown you how to set up Time Machine on your Mac. It’s pretty easy to do when you’re just backing up to an external hard drive that’s connected directly to your computer. However, if you’d rather use your Synology NAS that’s connected to your local network, there’s a bit more work to do (but it’s still pretty easy).

How to Set Up and Get Started with Your Synology NAS
Oct 23, 2019 · The Synology DS220j is an affordable NAS with an attractive design. The device has everything you could want in a household server, with up to 32TB of storage capacity, letting you house media files, data, and create backups with a private cloud. The Mac Mini downloads a copy to its Photos Library; The Synology app copies the photo into its backup; I’ve configured the Mac Mini and Synology to wake up for a few hours every day to do this and so far it’s working really well. Stuff used. Mac mini; External 2TB hard drive; Synology 4-bay NAS; Synology Drive client app Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices See All 6 Departments Mac; PC; Hard Disk Size. 4 TB & Above; 3 TB; Synology 2 Bay NAS DiskStation DS220j (Diskless), 2 this is the same issue i had and i have been searching around for a solution for a few months. due to the fact that I use windows at work and use mac at home, and both place has synology NAS. unfortunately I am not able to find the perfect soultion up until this point, except for what @Erukain mentioned.

Apr 21, 2020 · Thx Boyd01. Maybe I should clarify: my vision for this setup is that with a Mac having the Store and iTunes and its Library on my Synology NAS, I want to download HD copies of my Apple Store purchases, and unless the movie is 4K I would likely use not the cloud but instead the Synology. Most Synology NAS are designed for NAS not media server. Some Synology like a dual-bay DS216 has hardware-assisted 4k h.264/h.265 as it is geared towards media server. Since you are using your NAS for photos (which are invaluable data), you want it to be a reliable storage. If you find the mac address on the sticker on the back of the synology it has 12 numbers with no spacing. They must be arranged in the following order xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx If you access the mac address via system information you need to substitute the "-" for ":", that is instead of xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, you need to input it as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
