Mount Remote Folders

You can mount remote folders from remote servers (such as network computers or other DiskStation) to easily navigate available network resources with File Station.

To mount a remote folder:

1. Click Tools > Mount Remote Folder.
2. Enter "\\Remote_Server\Remote_Folder" in the Folder field to specify the path of the remote folder. For example, "\\192.168.0.2\share" or "\\chad\cheeseburger\pictures".
3. If access privilege to the remote folder is required by the remote server, enter your user credentials of the remote server in the Account name and Password fields.
4. Click Browse to select or create an empty destination folder on your DiskStation for mounting the remote folder.
5. Tick Mount automatically on startup if you want DiskStation to mount this remote folder on every system startup or reboot.
6. Click Mount. Now you can navigate to the destination folder where the remote folder is mounted, and manage the contents of the remote folders.

To unmount a remote folder:

1. Select the remote folder you want to unmount, and click Tools > Unmount.
2. Alternatively, simply right-click on the remote folder and select Unmount.
