Synology C2¶
Mount a Synology C2 Object Storage bucket as a Windows drive.
Before you begin¶
You need a C2 Object Storage Access Key ID and Secret Access Key pair, and your bucket's
endpoint — https://object.<region>.c2.synology.com (shown in the C2
portal).
Where to get the keys — in the C2 Object Storage portal: open Access Key ID in the left panel, click Create, optionally scope the key to buckets, and copy both values — the secret is shown only once.
Help from Synology
Connect¶
- Click Add in the toolbar.
- Choose Enterprise → Synology C2.
- Enter the endpoint, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key, then click the Refresh button next to the bucket field.
- Select the bucket and click Connect.
Manual bucket entry
If your key is not allowed to list buckets, tick the checkbox to the left of the bucket field and type the bucket name directly.
Settings¶
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint | https://object.<region>.c2.synology.com |
— |
| Access Key ID / Secret Access Key | C2 Object Storage credentials | — |
| Bucket | The bucket to mount (list or manual entry) | — |
| Read-only | Blocks writes to the mounted drive | off |
Behavior & limits¶
- RaiDrive checks that the endpoint hostname is a C2 object-storage address; other URLs are rejected as "invalid endpoint".
- S3 semantics: renaming a large folder tree copies and deletes every object under the prefix.
Troubleshooting¶
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "invalid endpoint" | URL is not the C2 endpoint form | Copy the endpoint from the C2 console exactly |
| Bucket list empty | Wrong region endpoint | Use the endpoint of the region that holds the bucket |
