Enable WebDAV on your Synology DiskStation and sync with CopySync.
💡 Synology NAS devices come with a built-in WebDAV Server package. This guide is for DSM 7.x.
Open the Package Center application in DSM.
Type "WebDAV" in the search box and find the package developed by Synology.
Click "Install" and wait for the package to install.
Open the WebDAV Server application from the main menu.
Configure the following settings:
5006
Create a new folder in File Station:
/volume1/homes/YOUR_USERNAME/CopySync/or in a shared folder:
/volume1/shared/CopySync/Open CopySync settings on Mac or Android.
Use the following format:
https://YOUR_NAS_IP:5006/homes/YOUR_USERNAME/CopySync/
https://YOUR_DDNS.synology.me:5006/homes/YOUR_USERNAME/CopySync/
Your Synology DSM username
Your Synology DSM password
Click "Test Connection". If successful, click "Save".
Always use HTTPS. Unencrypted data transfer over HTTP is not secure.
Use a Let's Encrypt certificate. You can get a free certificate from DSM > Control Panel > Security > Certificate.
Enable 2-factor authentication and consider creating a separate user for CopySync.
Make sure port 5006 is open on your router. You can set up automatic port forwarding from DSM > Control Panel > Router Configuration.
If using a self-signed certificate, we recommend switching to Let's Encrypt. Temporarily, your device may need to mark the certificate as trusted.
Make sure your user has read/write permission to the WebDAV folder. Check from DSM > Control Panel > Shared Folder > Permissions.
