A simple test for Devs with a Windows PC and a Synology NAS:
Have WSDD off on the NAS
Open Network in Windows Explorer.
The NAS is not shown.
On the NAS, activate WSDD - Windows sees the NAS in Windows Explorer and, permissions confirmed, can browse the NAS…
This happens very fast.
Without this feature, Mac users first need to go to finder, then Go To, Connect with Server, enter in
smb://IP and then - with luck, it will connect.
Windows needs a \IP, authentification,. then, it may work.
A somewhat dated procedure…
I can provide for tests in diverse environments, including Win10, Win11, MacOS…
My 2 cents
