Forcefully changing permissions on the client-side.Changing permissions for the users on the server-side - administrator users could potentially change file/folder permissions.Using different username for each client - previously I had used the same username.Uninstalling and re-installing the application on the server.Note: An uninstall utility can be found by navigating to Applications > Synology Cloud Station, right-clicking and selecting Show Package Contents, then going to Contents > SharedSupport > Remove Synology Cloud Station Drive Uninstalling and re-installing the client on both devices.Searching for the error online and reading every forum available.Checking the logs - both in the UI and via the CLI.I did a ton of troubleshooting as well as trial and error in order to fix this problem. It is basically a Dropbox / Google Drive / Box alternative. In this post, I would like to cover the solution to the problem. I could re-authenticate, but that would just move the error to the other laptop.

Unfortunately, doing this always resulted in an authentication error as well as an abnormal status on one of the two laptops. Given that I wanted to keep the two laptops in sync as much as possible and given that I primarily use the Desktop and Downloads folders on Mac, I decided to sync the contents to Cloud Station. My goal was to continue using both laptops - one for home and one for travel.

Recently, I purchased the new MacBook Pro and decided to use Migration Assistant to move all of my data to the new laptop. To date, this move has been great for me. So much so, I migrated off of all cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and onto Synology’s Cloud Station application. As I have discussed in the past, I am a big fan of Synology.
