Mount Synology NAS as Local Drive

You could let Time Machine (or other SW) backup your Mac at night, so that it’s not using resources during the day while you are using either.

What kind of internet service (data cap, not speeds) do you have that you can send TBs up to the cloud without any penalty?

Would you share your KB Maestro Macro/script with us? I’m just now learning Keyboard Maestro, I would like to have the same mount capability

I am checking via Keyboard Maestro if one of my volumes is mounted. If not, Keyboard Maestro executes this AppleScript:

tell application "Finder"
	try
		mount volume "smb://NASNAME/Documents"
	end try
	try
		mount volume "smb://NASNAME/Photos"
	end try
	try
		mount volume "smb://NASNAME/Multimedia"
	end try
	try
		mount volume "smb://NASNAME/Tech"
	end try
	try
		mount volume "smb://NASNAME/Videos"
	end try
end tell

NASNAME is the name of your NAS. “Documents”, “Tech” and so on are different volumes.

The AppleScript inside of the Macro:
