  • Step 3. Connect your NAS and MacBook

Step 1: open the setup wizard

Open 'Go' and tap 'Connect to server'

With the setup wizard, you can set it up quickly. Open Finder and click 'Go' in the menu at the top. Choose 'Connect to server' in this fold-out menu. You'll find this option at the bottom of the menu. Continue with the setup from here.

Step 2: enter the IP address and save the server

Enter the IP address of your NAS in the wizard

Enter the server of your Synology NAS in this window. Type smb:// in the 'Server Address' field, followed by the IP address of your Synology NAS. Go to find.synology.com on your MacBook to find the IP address. Here, you'll see the IP address of your NAS on the second line. Enter this in the corresponding field and click 'Connect'.

Step 3: connect your NAS and MacBook

After you press 'Connect', a pop-up window appears. Enter the username and password of your NAS and click 'Registered user'. If you don't, you have to log in as a guest with less editing rights.
