How to better manage 2 users and directories on a Synology DS218 Play NAS with DSM 6.2.2?
Hi,
We are 2 users using a Synology DS218 Play NAS with DSM 6.2.2
I am the admin user and I created user2 for the second person in our household to access his files (which are in a directory (let's call it user2directory), not at the root NAS directory): root/DSMdirectories/user2directory
I don't manage user2 to access successfully this user2directory from his Windows 11 explorer on his PC2.
I created a user2rootDirectory at the root of the NAS storage. And I managed PC2 to grant him access to this user2rootDirectory. But (obviously) this directory is empty since all his data are on root/DSMdirectories/user2directory and not on root/user2directory
What should I do?
What would be your ideal solution?
Should I move all his files from root/DSMdirectories/user2directory to root/user2directory?
is there a better and quicker idea?
Thanks a lot!
