How to Mount remote folders from another NAS in QNAP

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1
I have a QNAP TS-215 which I only run Plex Media Server (RAID 1)
I also have a Synology DS1513+ which has my content in 3-4 shared folders (RAID 5), all of this runs on the same network. 
 
I would like to do the following:
Mount the the Synology shared folders onto my QNAP TS-215 as local drives (and can be seen in Fliertation)  so that they can be easily seen by Plex as local drives and mounted. 
 
My question is can this be done easily, I tried the shared folder aggregation but this is not what i need as it is the QNAP which needs to see the drives on the Sinology device not Windows or MAC. If i do this the other way around Synology has an option in their file manager called "Mount Remote Folder" which allows me to mount a folder from any server, all i need to do is supply the IP address the login details, yet I cannot see how the same thing can be done on the QNAP, any ideas on how this can be done. 
 
I've been breaking my head all morning trying to figure this out, maybe I have missed something very simple :oops: . 
 

 

Thanks in advance.

If QNAP utilizes a Linux kernel,

Have you enabled NFS and mounted the other machine's exported NFS share ?

mount -t nfs   host:/share-name   /mount-point  

?

It can also be set to auto mount in /etc/fstab.   /etc/fstab is not just for local file systems
