Have you solved your problem? You can try this method, as shown in the figure: checked "Allow shell access" and unchecked "rsyc only" option.

Yes the destination in remote

When I click "Browse", it first ask me "Connect As :"

Here I have to put the user I creat on the remote nas associate with the SSH key (and this step work)

Then I have a 2nd windows "choose a folder"

but the only line in that liste is "root" (and I have no root share anywhere"

and I can't select that line

And when I click on "Select" buton nothing happen (probably because nothing is selected"

There is also a button to creat new folder on that page, that give me an error message to select a parent folder node first

So what happens if you don't click "browse" and just enter the path from the keyboard?

This is the screen I have after clicking on "browse"

If I don't use it, and use the "test conection", I've got an error message "impossible connection with host"

  I also made test with classic RSYNC protocol on port 873, it work perfectly fine, but it's less secure
