User Home

Enable user home to create a personal home folder for each user, except for guest. All users can access their own home folder via CIFS, AFP, FTP, or File Station.

Admin can access all personal folders located in the homes default shared folder. The name of home folder is the same as the user account.

To enable the user home service:

  1. Click User Home.
  2. Check Enable user home service.
  3. If there are more than one volume on Synology DiskStation, select where you want the homes folder to be stored.
  4. Click OK.

Note: Once the local user home service is disabled, the domain user home service will also be disabled concurrently.

To disable the user home service:

  1. Click User Home.
  2. Uncheck Enable user home service.

After the user home service is disabled, the homes shared folder will be preserved for admin access. Users will be able to access their home folders again when the user home service is enabled again.

    Note:
  1. To delete the homes shared folder, user home service must be disabled first.
  2. The domain user home service would be disabled if the local user home service is disabled.
