Search for Files or Folders
You can type keywords in the Filter field at the top-right corner of File Station to filter through files or folders in
the current folder. Additionally, you can also perform advanced search in the Advanced Search panel for more
refined search results.
Note: For quicker search result, it is recommended that you index shared folder contents. See "Index Shared Folder
Contents" for more information.
Set File Station in Action
With the Action menu, right-clicking, and dragging-and-dropping, you can easily download, upload, copy, move,
rename, delete, extract, and compress files or folders, and more.
Edit the Properties of Files and Subfolders
You can edit the access privileges to files and subfolders (meaning folders and their subfolders in a shared
folder), copy download links and open file in a new browser window in the Properties window. Select the files
and folders for which you want to set access privileges. Right-click one of the files or folders, or choose the
Action menu, and then choose Properties.
Note:
To set access privileges to shared folders, please see "Allow Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders" for more
information.
You are not allowed to edit the access privileges to files and subfolders in the photo shared folder here. To set
access privileges to photo albums for Photo Station users, open Photo Station, go to the Settings page, and click
the Help tab for more information.
With File Station, you can only perform the upload action for files and folders on your computer. All the other File
Station actions and properties setting are available for files and folders on Synology DiskStation only.
Share File Links
With File Station, you can generate URLs for DiskStation files, which could be used by people without DSM user
credentials to download the shared files. For more information, click the Help button (with a question mark) at the
top-right corner, and then go to File Station > Share File Links.
