Setting Encoding

Synology Server uses Unicode to manage files. The benefit of using Unicode is to avoid file inaccessibility between users who use different languages. However, for users without Unicode support on their PC, Administrator can set the encoding method of the files to overcome the problem. Please go to the page “Network > Win/Mac OS” of the Web Management UI for the setting.
