Can you access your music share from windows? In case you need to enter your credentials it means your Sonos also need a username/password before it can access the share.



I just added my NAS share to my Sonos One without any issues, but before the One could read all the music I needed to enter my NAS username and password (special created for my One) and grant the NAS account access to the (read only) share.



Maybe this Synology link will help:

Or this one from Sonos:

Jicho thanks, yes I can access the music share from my laptop fine. I just need to log into the NAS.



I did share my music file, although I am not sure whether they are to be shared as "local user" or as "system internal user". Either way, did you actually create a (local or system internal) "SONOS" user?



As far as I can tell, I have no issue with the SONOS requirements.

I've added a user under Control Panel > Users > Create and called it "dj-sonos". During the creation the user is added to the group users (System default group). And under persmissions I've granted read access to my music share and under applications I revoked all access accept File Station and Audio Station.



In images (after creating the account) is looks like this:



Usergroups

Permissions

Applications

Or... you can set the right from the music shared folder settings:

Oh... one last thing... I'm accessing my NAS from the Sonos on IP address.



Your DS218(+) should work for 100%. I'm owning a 218+ and has, as said before, no issues.



Hope this helps a little.
