Support Services

Support Services include both remote access and log generation tools, allowing our technical support engineers to quickly view, diagnose, and resolve technical issues on your Synology NAS from a Synology office. To do this, go to Support Center > Support Services.

Remote Access

Select Enable remote access only when you are being asked by Synology Technical Support. A random account will be generated for our technical support engineers to remotely access your Synology NAS.

Note:

  • Remote access will be automatically disabled after 14 days. It should not be manually disabled by then unless a Synology technical support engineer asks you to do so.
  • Please remove any contents from your Synology NAS that you consider to be private.
  • Although Synology cannot guarantee that the provision of remote access will resolve your issue, Synology will make reasonable efforts to perform support services in a professional manner.

Diagnosis Service

Enable the Diagnosis Service function to automatically deliver the diagnostic data of your Synology NAS when you submit a technical support ticket. This can facilitate the troubleshooting process.

Before using this function, make sure your Synology NAS is signed in to your Synology Account (configurable at Control Panel > Synology Account).

  1. Select Enable Diagnosis Service and then click Apply.

Log Generation

Generate and provide logs only to Synology technical support engineers.

  1. Click Generate logs then wait for a few minutes before the download is complete.
  2. Provide Synology technical support engineers with the logs via email.
