Hidden Folders
I have installed a few apps, including the Plex Media Server app. In order for me to configure the app the way I want it configured, I need access to the apps folder which I cannot find in my nas directory. It seems to be hidden, along with a few other folders. Can somebody, anybody, tell me how to access these folders please.
Access the NAS data volume with admin credentials. For instance, run cmd on a windows PC and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real nas ip address and nas admin password. Be careful on the typing (both slash direction and location of spaces).
Those commands should mount the data volume as drive letter T.
Then access T:\.apps with file explorer (you might find it convenient to set up file explorer to show hidden files).
