set up TLS (aka ssl) on the NAS so you do not send your WebDAV password in clear text.

check and confirm that nat hairpinning is working or you may need to replace your router with something better.

(this includes the firewall but most routers these days will auto add the proper rules when enabling port forwarding)

set up dynamic dns so the domain points to your home ip external public Internet address.

get a domain and use a name server that supports dynamic dns.

One potential big issue is that your router does not support nat hairpinning as shown in the picture below or your ISP is blocking the ports. There is a lot going on here for what might seem a basic way to host your own sync store location. Which slows everything down, as it just spins for a long while trying to connect for the databases.

When connecting via the external when on a local network, or vice versa, gives a “time out” (Error: Error while setting up location ‘dtsync.dtCloud’: The request timed out. I wish it would work like that, Jim, but it doesn’t. I would rather keep my files on my own NAS, then upload them to someone else’s cloud (like iCloud), however much easier that might be.

What I want to know is how to set things up such that – wherever I am – my DT databases are syncing via my Synology NAS, using the same http address.Īgain, I know this is not the place for NAS support, but if someone has successfully done so here, ti would be of great help. However, the former doesn’t work when I’m not on my local network (obviously), and the latter doesn’t work when I’m on my local network (obviously). And I am able to do it when setting up a separate one for external access (using Synology’s own DDNS provider). Now, I am presently able to sync when I set up a WebDAV server using my Synology information for local network syncing. In DTPO, that would mean setting up a WebDAV server, and populating it with the relevant info from my Synology. What I had understood from the OP, and what is my intended use, is to sync the files between my MacBook and my iOS devices via the WebDAV server on the Synology NAS. BUT you cannot access them in DEVONthink to Go as part of a database except by using the normal Open In DEVONthink command from Files or from one of those apps.Īre any of these cases yours? Or something else? You can use Synology’s DS File, DS Cloud, and Drive (the successor to DS File) apps on your iOS device if you make them providers in iOS’s Files app. Jim covered that, above.ĭo you want to have files on your Synology that you index in your DEVONthink databases on your Mac, and have DEVONthink to Go access those? DEVONthink to Go is not going to connect to your Synology over any network – local, private cloud, or internet. dtBase2 databases on your Synology and somehow access them via DEVONthink to Go? Won’t work.

I like the OP would like to setup my DT databases on my Mac and iOS devices to sync via to be able to sync, regardless whether the devices are on the same local network as the Synology machine, or are accessing it externally.ĭo you want to put.
