3. Click the Task List button and press Create. Select the source shared folder you want to copy.(  If the directory/file names match with the destination, they will be renamed so they don’t clash with the sync process.)

select the Next button. In sync destination screen, the Synology should automatically detect the new Synology on your network, so you can simply select that and enter your login credentials.(Use the NAS admin logins – Destination )
