Hi,
I have a new Synology NAS and installed Plex. When I go to create a new LIbrary, I get a list of root folders. My main share, called DATA, isn’t listed directly. So I go to “volume1” first and inside I do see DATA, but in it I see no sub-folders. There are dozens, including all the content I want added. Tried creating a new share of the folder, verified that Plex user has read/write access, and same thing. Cannot seem to see inside the share.
Another share is showing up however, but not the one I want.
Thank you @ChuckPa for your assistance above. Unfortunately, the permissions do not appear to be the whole story. I still cannot see folders inside my main data share.
So as far as I can tell its set up how the article says I should be setting it up, but I am not seeing any of the contents of the DATA share. I did just re-apply the permissions and rebooted the Synology to make sure. Still no luck.
Yep.. It appears your permissions were manually edited in FileStation as well.
This isn’t a problem.
Keep those share permissions where they are. This is how it should be done.
You now need to also grant permission in each of the subdirectories. it’s likely you’ll need do this from now on unless you create a new share for your data and let DSM work in default mode.
The corrective action is done in File station.
For each of your subdirectories in DATA,
Right-click
Properties
Permissions tab
Owner = R/W/E, Group & Other = R/E as shown below.
Make certain to check “This folder, sub-folders, and files”
Right click on the share → Properties → Permissions
Make sure user plex is listed; add if not there (just like my example)
Grant Read permissions after adding user plex.
Apply to this folder, sub-folders, and files.
Hit the OK.
