    I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but we use our Synology over WiFi (its connected via ethernet to the router though). It runs backup apps but also the computers in the house can mount it as if it was a connected drive.

        Not exactly but nearly so. Once it’s setup, go to Network in Finder on the Mac. You should see it there with the name you assigned it. When you click on it you’ll need to give it the user credentials you created when you set it up. You should be able to save these in the Mac Keychain so it won’t ask again in the future. If you have multiple users you can set each one up with their own account on the Synology NAS and they will do the same when they want to use it but with their credentials.

        Synology also provides desktop backup client apps for Windows, Mac, and Debian-based Linux distros, plus apps for Android & iOS so you can access the files or backup photos directly to it.
