              Hello Guys, 
I’m a new user and this question is basic question as i’m not very advanced user anyway 
So now i have Zimaboard 2 and while i setup the Plex in it, The Plex is asks me for the media folder/libarary which the files can be taken from
What to do - As i can’t see or find my Synology media files / folder / libarary on the Plex list?
How can i make Zimaboard 2 reads / writes - from / to Synology
             
            
              
           
          
            
            
              In sysnology create a user account (also ensure SMB is set up) give that user account access to eveything or just the folder you want, i.e. your media files. Then in ZimaOS Files/ see the storage option on the left? click on the + and select “Lan storage” put in your address of the synology and turn off connect as guest, it will give you a space to put in your username and password (synology account)

              it keep saying “Connection timeout” not sure what does it mean, maybe :
1- Wrong file address from file station in synology
Can someone guide or help further ? if there is a video or an article there
             
            
              
           
          
            
            
              I think this post is very helpful to your question.
  
  
    Hi, @Jozu  @notaseraf  
To achieve it, there are two important things to remember. 
First, you need to understand how Docker handles folders both inside and outside containers. We have a simplified article  about it. 
Second, after mounting the shared folders from the LAN, you need to refer to them correctly. The correct path of shared folders will be mounted under the /media folder on ZimaOS, and you can list them by ls /media. 
For example: 
 [image]  
When you configure the path in the settings p…
