WINS Server

Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a NetBIOS name- to-IP-address mapping service. Window users will locate the system more easily on TCP/IP networks if the system has been configured to register with a WINS server.

Support Windows offline files

This option will enable support for Windows offline files and automatically enables CIFS opportunistic locking. However, enabling this option will affect DiskStation performance when accessing shared folders via network.

Optimize CIFS database operations

Checking this option will disable "Opportunistic Locking" of CIFS, resulting in increased performance when database applications access database files on the shared folder of the Synology DiskStation via network.

Enable Local Master Browser

Enable Synology DiskStation to be the Local Master Browser.

Note: Enabling this function will disable the HDD hibernation mechanism and activate the guest account without password.

Enable CIFS Recycle Bin

Checking this option will enable "Recycle Bin" of CIFS, resulting in moving the deleted files into the CIFS Recycle Bin when users delete files in the shared folders via the CIFS protocol. When users delete files in a shared folder, a folder called "#recycle" will be created automatically under the root directory of the shared folder.

Empty CIFS Recycle Bin

Click Empty CIFS Recycle Bin to clean all CIFS Recycle Bins, resulting in deleting all contents of CIFS Recycle Bins in all the shared folders.

Enable Transfer Log

Enable this function to record the log of all file transfer via the smb protocol. After the function is enabled, you can see the log by clicking View Logs.
