![]() ![]() The downside is that if you intend to share with Windows clients, you'll need to implement SSL certificates. This is why they created WebDav because now you'll be accessing the file via a universal link which is the same for everyone. The user will then have to manually navigate to that share to get to the file you're referencing. Example: Windows: \\HAL9000\Video\GoPro - IMPORT\filename.txt The only thing you can do is to rewrite the UNC path to let Mac users know which file you're referring to. Version 7, which was finally released back in June, integrated new features that embraced industry-standard security and performance enhancements while expanding its usability, reliability, performance, and scalability. The problem with that is /Volumes/Share-name may be completely different for you and me (see above re: existing names). Synology Disk Station Manager (DSM) has been evolving steadily since it was released. You access it by going to /Volumes/Share-bar/filename.txt So why can't I share links?īecause you don't access the file through smb://server-foo/share-bar/filename.txt (ignoring authentication). ![]() The last line confirms it - "Network Share" is already mounted and can't be mounted again. dev/disk3s2 on /Volumes/FreeAgent Go (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, on /Volumes/Network Share (smbfs, nodev, nosuid, mounted by allan) dev/disk4s2 on /Volumes/My Passport for Mac (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled) dev/disk5s1 on /Volumes/MUSIC (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners) Map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse) Map Drive You can map a shared folder as a network drive and access it as an internal drive on your local computer. Map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) Select a Synology NAS from the list and click Connect Double-click on a Synology NAS from the list When your Synology NAS is successfully connected, your browser will take you directly to the Synology DSM login page. Issuing the mount command gives us: $ mount When I try to mount again using "Connect to Server" ( ⌘ Command K and just connecting directly to the server with no share specified, you can see that it's greyed out. Using my SMB mounts on a Synology Diskstation, as another example, I have the share "Network Share" already mounted. If that name exists, you will get the following path /Volumes/Video(1) and if that exists, (2) and so on. ![]() Using your example, the first time you send the link smb://HAL9000/Video, it will issue the following command: `mount_smbfs /Volumes/Video` When Finder "sees" the smb:// it invokes the mount_smbfs command behind the scenes and creates a mount point in the /Volumes/ sub-folder. In Windows, you can "map" a network drive to a share, but in Unix, you have to mount it. The UNC share isn't " mounted" like it is in Unix where " everything's a file". SMB or Server Message Block is a Microsoft Windows technology so it stands to reason that sharing links to SMB shares (or as Microsoft calls them, network shares) is baked into the OS. Unfortunately, this is not how macOS works. ![]()
