Hi Robbie/Ed,

Been following your series of tutorials for setting up a new Synology nas. All is going well, but I have a quick Q...

After setting up a shared folder, in your tutorial you talk about mapping the share to a desktop pc by using Synology Assistant > right-clicking on the nas available in Synology Assistant and from the 3 x options to appear, selecting the middle one to 'Map Drive/share'.

All that makes perfect sense, except the mapping option is greyed out for me? I've gone back over your tutorial a good few times to ensure I've done everything right, but still the option is greyed out?

I've no idea why? Have you come across this before? Looking for the simplest way to map the share which is why I tried this option (as this is how I did it on an older nas.)

Thanks in advance for your help.
Will need to ask Synology whats wrong with their app.
But in meantime, this is a simple way to do it.
Make sure SMB is enabled on your NAS.
Then do this. Go to :
My computer
This PC
Computer Tab
Map network drive
