Email Account

You can add your email accounts at Personal > Email Account and send files stored in File Station as attachments from email addresses added here. Furthermore, you can also add your email account at Settings > Email Account in Drive and Calendar. After account is added, you can send event invitation mail via Calendar and email notification when sharing files on Drive with others.

Supported email service providers include Gmail, Outlook and customized SMTP server.

To add an email account:

  1. Click Add and choose the service provider of the email account you want to set up.
  2. Enter your email address, password, and sender name.
  3. Tick Use this email account as the default if you prefer letting File Station, Calendar, and Drive use this email account by default when you have multiple accounts set up.
  4. Click Sync contacts to sync your email contacts to DiskStation if your email service provider (Gmail and Outlook) supports this feature. Please note that the contacts synced will be from the email account you provide in the authentication window that appears rather than from the one you entered in the previous step. Hence, if you find a different or unintended account displayed in the authentication window, please manually switch to the desired email account or the one you entered previously.
