Witzker Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hi, I want to sync an existing folder on DS 418 to a folder with same name on an old DS414j. As Drive is not supported on the old DS 414j (DSM6) I found Resilio sync as alternative BUT I do not fully understand the concept behind. Can You Pls. Help to achieve the sync with existing to new folder between The 2 Synologys. I have installed Resilio Sync package on both Synos. I don't want a Trial an error scenario, therefore I Hope for a step by step GUID for the next steps. What To-Do on DS418 What To-Do on DS414j Where to open Resilio Sync? On DS 418 or DS414j (or both) What to put where to get the 2 folders in sync. What's about Identity - same on both Synos? - or different? Hope all Infos are understandable, and you can figure out what I mean. Many THX for patience helping a Newbie 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltopo Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 It's pretty hard (and not a good idea) to sync 2 existing un-related folders on different devices, you probably would end up with results that you didn't expect. I suggested that you do this: 1. Create a new empty folder on 1 NAS, share it to the other NAS as "NewShare"; 2. from NAS1, move its "existing folder" into the "NewShare" folder, NAS2 should be receiving the files inside this folder; 3. from NAS2, move or merge its "existing folder" into the "NewShare" folder. Eventually both NASes should have all files. I would just rename NAS1's existing folder to "NAS1_existing", NAS2's existing folder to "NAS2_existing", and move them to the sharing folder.

Andy+ Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 If you have installed Resilio on both NAS, you can use https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us for the next steps. If you use DSM 7 on a NAS consider you give in the system control > shared folders each folder the permissions of read and write with the local system user rslsync.
