Synology NAS

Photos

Shared photos are stored under /volume1/photo/
users photos are under /volume1/homes/USERNAME/Photos/PhotoLibrary/

Homes folder permissions

• Opening File Station as admin
• right-clicking on the 'homes' folder and choosing properties
• click the Permission tab
• Click 'Everyone' (and also any users that had custom permissions set) then choose 'Type:Allow' and 'Read:Traverse folders/Execute files' ONLY

Then all seems good now! I don't recall setting anything manually either, but I've had my Synology a while so maybe the issue was as a result of having upgraded from an earlier version?
