Deluge running on Windows cannot see my NAS folders

[Sloth103]

Hi, I recently installed Deluge on my Windows 10 PC.

My Synology NAS folders are not available to select as download locations within Deluge. I have tried poking around and even pasting a network folder address in directly and none of these things work. I don't see any way to allow Deluge to save to these folders. I am able to download to, and seed from, these folders using QBittorrent.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have network locations mounted/mapped as a drive and I can see them fine, what is it you are doing (where are you looking for them?)

I see my network mounted drives in the 'Move Download Folder' menu, as well as the add torrent file menus...are you just expecting to see them listed in some sort of "Network" section?

Mount the locations as drives and they'll show up fine.

By gum, that seems to have done it. This is a basic thing I never figured out. Since I have you, do you know how to achieve the inverse? So that apps running on my Synology NAS can see native folders on my Windows desktop? Thanks for your help!

I have no experience with synology, but they have a pretty big community. I'd imagine you'd just have to share folders on your desktop using windows sharing (which would be called samba or cifs in linux) and then mount it.
