Synology LAN Shared Folder
==========================
.. note:: This guide was created by a Start9 community member. This is not yet officially supported. Please report any feedback that may help improve the process.
Setup LAN Shared Folder
-----------------------
#. In Synology UI, go to *Control Panel > Shared Folder* and select the folder you want to use. Click "Permissions" and make sure you have read/write permissions for the user you're going to be logging in as. Click "Save".
#. Back in Synology UI, go to *Control Panel > File Services > SMB* and click the SMB drop down button if it isn't already selected. Ensure that "Enable SMB service" is checked.
.. note:: Under Advanced Settings on the same dropdown, "Min SMB protocol" was set to SMB2 and "Max SMB protocol set to SMB3" - this may or may not be necessary
#. In the same dropdown, under "Note" will be "PC (Windows Explorer): \". This DeviceAddressName is the "Hostname" within the Embassy New Shared Folder dialog, and note that it is case sensitive and that the \ have been removed.
#. Back in Synonogy UI, click "File Station" and navigate so that you can see the the desired destination folder. Right click the folder, then *Properties > General*. Next to "Location" will be a folder location of the format ///, the / portion (so without the volume label) is the "Path" within the Embassy New Shared Folder dialog.
Connect Embassy
---------------
#. Go to *Embassy > Create Backup*.

#. Fill in the following fields:
* Hostname - This is the hostname of the machine that your shared folder is located on
* Path - This is the "Share Name" (name of the share in your samba config) and **not** the full directory path
* Username - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory
* Password - This is your user (from above) password

#. Click "Save".
That's it! You can now :ref:`Create<backup-create>` encrypted, private backups of all your Embassy data to your Linux machine or external drive!!
