Synology NAS beginners guide (DSM7) | Part 15 | network mapping in macOS

If you found this video useful please like and subscribe to our channel.
Having created network shares on our Synology NAS, we can now try and map network drives to macOS. So in this video we take a look at the two methods you can use to connect to network shares in macOS, and then demonstrate how you map network drives so that they appear on the desktop of your computer.
While the term mapping is more a Microsoft Windows term. You can still map network drives in macOS. So just like Windows, macOS is able to create a connection between a local drive and a shared network folder. This is so that you can access that network resource as if it were a local drive on your computer.

Thanks for the kind words.
Having a break from posting this month. As I want to change to a different schedule going forward.
Then as of March, I will be posting two long form videos a month. These videos will be roughly between 10 and 20 mins in length. Which hopefully explains why I have had to change my schedule.
However, I'm hoping to have the who series finished up by the end of the summer so we can look at a few more advanced topics like Docker.
Currently I'm finishing up a video on installing and Configuring Video Station. So the schedule should hopefully be:
1. An Apple Script for network shares
2. Install and Configure Audio Station
3. Install and Configure Video Station
4. Install and Configure Synology Photos
