cinghialino Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hello everyone, I need of a solution for a problem I have. I have about 80k files between two NAS synced together with Resilio Sync, and everything works beautifully. Often I need to access those files on my laptop, that has limited storage. I access those files from the NAS with SMB, but because they are quite big files, I struggle with the upload speed of the WAN connection of the NAS.My dream would be to have a Resilio Sync folder mounted on my laptop as a network drive, so I would be able to access those files without storing them on my laptop - but more importantly, in a much faster way - as I'd be able to download them from the combined upload speed of multiple synced point of presence. In other words, something similar to Google file stream, but private. Am I dreaming or this is a possible feature request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Assuming that \\diskstation is your NAS on Windows Network: just write a .BAT file with this row: net use R: "\\diskstation\mysharedfolder" /persistent:yes Replace R:, diskstation and mysharedfolder according your needs. If you want mount a directory instead of a drive, write this in the batch file: mklink /d "D:\MyFolder" "\\diskstation\mysharedfolder" Replace D:, MyFolder, diskstation and mysharedfolder according your needs. Make sure that D:/MyFolder don't exist, otherwise mount will fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinghialino Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hello Carlo, it appears that I did not convey well what I would like to achieve, as I am not trying to just mount a network drive: I would like to see a way to access a Resilio Sync folder (from those already available within your identity) without actually reside on your computer. You know the whole process of selecting a location for the folder you'd like to connect? I'd like to be able to skip that for a true "cloud folder" that resides only in those devices you select. Folders available and accessible but not synced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
