Connecting MacOs Mojave to Synology Nas

4th February 2020

Newer versions of MacOs use SMB3

Unclear why Synology doesn’t enable SMB3 by default.

while you are making changes, consider changing the minimum version to smb2 to avoid some security concerns around smb1.

Note this did NOT fix the original problem. Eventually we connected using AFS. That workstation will be rebuilt next month.
