@yevfast Interesting! I’m a Windows guy and don’t really know my way around Linux/DiskStation OS, so I’m not sure how to access that path. Are you connecting via SSH? I’m just logging into the web console and using the “File Station” app, and I don’t see /volume1. But it looks like you found the default collection of all Plex device profiles. Cool!
But it seems like this is the wrong place to add custom profiles, as they are overwritten with updates. Official guidance is to use /Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Profiles

Just to be clear for everybody, the profile I posted above affects ALL clients; there’s nothing Android-specific about it. Specifying devices is done in the <Identification> and <DeviceDescription> sections of the profile, which I have omitted because I don’t want my DiskStation to try to transcode…ever.

This profile affects both syncing (per the original question) as well as any on-the-fly transcoding (for clients and devices where Plex has removed the “Force DirectPlay” option). It also affects still images, making photo libraries usable on low-end servers.
Apologies if anything above is incorrect; I’m still testing and trying to figure out the fine points.
