Go to services like to find out your IP. Now, next step is to obtain your external IP address. Also, make sure the port number here matches with your router’s local admin page. Install and launch the Server UI admin, make sure check “Enable HTTP” at minimal. If you are on DSM 5.2 or older, WebDAV will be Under Control Panel > File Services > (tab) WebDAV In DSM 6.0 beta, Synology has moved WebDAV Server to its own app that doesn’t come out of the box anymore. While you have the port forwarded, go to Synology’s admin page and under Package Center search for “WebDAV”. By default, Synology uses 5005 for HTTP’s WebDAV and 5006 for HTTPS. This is done usually at your local router’s admin page, each admin panel works differently, but you want to find the mapping where the external request will map to the correct port to your internal NAS server. If you try to mount Synology’s share via the internet, you need to first make sure forward your external port to your local Synology NAS port. Windows do support WebDAV however the type of WebDAV Synology allows you to connect to your personal device does not work if there is no SSL certificate. How To Enable WebDAV and Map Synology Share on Windows When WebDAV service is enabled, client programs that support WebDAV, such as certain Windows apps, Mac OS Finder, Linux File Browser, will be able to remotely access the Synology NAS just like accessing a local network drive.
WebDAV is an extension of HTTP designed to let users edit and manage files stored on remote servers. You can map your Synology shared drive through WebDAV. Only it would be nice if you can mount and map the same network drives even while you are away from your home’s local network.įortunately, Synology lets you do this. While Synology has an excellent Web UI that lets you do many basic tasks, but access file through none traditional Web UI is cumbersome. Those consumer grade NAS are intended for the small amount of device to access files from the local network, this also means if you are away from local network accessing those files will be limited to the web interface. It has been a couple months since I owned this device and I’m happier than ever about this purchase. A while ago I covered why I decided to purchase a NAS drive, specifically a Synology NAS.
