I did post on their forums but they have to pass through a Mod first so I am asking here because I hope it's a quick fix.

I have a Synology NAS, I set it up, made a Share for Time Machine, it works fine and a regular share for files. I have a mix of OSX and Windows computers in my house.

1. I copied my files to the share, which are from a Windows PC.
2. Any Windows PC can view and open the files.
3. The Mac's can open the share, see the files, copy them, etc, but I can't open them. I get the red "-" on the folders.
4. Time Machine works fine on that separate share and I designated it as such. I hid that share from the Windows browser and they don't need to see it.


NM: I figured it out.
