Brand and Broadcast Your Photography Business

It’s complicated to put your Apple photo library onto a shared NAS. Apple say not to do it. It needs to be on an OSX Extended journaled Volume or APFS. You can put it on an OSX Extended Journaled sparse bundle disk image. In the Finder, go to the external drive where you want to store your library. In another Finder window, find your library. The default location is Users username Pictures, and it's named Photos Library. Drag your library to its new location on the external drive. The Synology NAS's ext3 file system, unlike the HFS+ on my local disk, is case-sensitive. A huge number of files in my library were suddenly showing up as missing, even though a spot check showed. In this article, IT Block will show you the easiest way to connect your Mac computer to a Synology NAS. Either you have just bought a brand new Synology NAS, or you need to connect a Mac to a Synology NAS you already own. Whichever the case, we are here to help.
