    You can add/remove shares at will in BluOS, but all shares will end up in the same library.

    In Synology File Station you can mount the WD as a shared folder, and just copy files in the background. If you then have time outs, it would most likely be your network.

    Guessing that the MacBook is connected via WiFi? 

    If it is then when you copy using the MacBook from one network device NAS the tracks will go from the WD to the MacBook and back to the Synology. This saturates your Wi-Fi and can cause the time out issues.

    If you copy to the Mac first, then when you have the tracks safely on there, copy them to the Synology. You could even break it down further and copy all the albums by alphabet, so do the “A’s” first and so on…

    However with such a large amount of data you really should use an Ethernet connection but still do it in two steps, this would also be much faster.

    How can reading and writing two times be much faster than reading and writing one time?

    Because using Wi-Fi it keeps timing out and he’s been trying for several months.

    On the Synology NAS: File Station - Tools - Mount Remote Folder - CIFS Shared Folder

     

    Shared folder on the WD would then end up as a folder on the Synology. Copy will then be from WD directly to Synology.

    Just did a short test with a decent amount of files and got an average transfer speed of 55 MB/s. That is limited by the WD, and not network.
    2TB of data would then take approximate 12-15 hours to transfer assuming the files are flac and not mp3.
