NAS / Synology / QNAP / TrueNAS Odoo Integration v.18

NAS systems usually expose files through a local network. If your Odoo server is hosted outside that network, the WebDAV endpoint should be reachable from Odoo through a secure channel. Recommended options are a reverse proxy with a valid HTTPS certificate, a VPN or secure tunnel such as WireGuard, Tailscale, or Cloudflare Tunnel, or a vendor relay such as Synology QuickConnect or QNAP myQNAPcloud. Plain port forwarding is possible but should be treated as the least preferred option.

Use a dedicated NAS user with the minimum required rights to one shared folder: read, create, update, move, and delete. Avoid administrator accounts. Publicly exposed endpoints should always use HTTPS and a valid TLS certificate. The connector has a "Verify SSL" option for trusted self-signed certificates, but it should normally remain enabled.

1. Turn on the option 'NAS Sync' (Cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration). The optional add-on NAS Odoo Integration is required
2. Prepare your NAS WebDAV endpoint:
   • Synology: install and enable WebDAV Server in DSM and choose HTTPS where possible
   • QNAP: enable WebDAV for the target shared folder and use HTTPS where possible
   • TrueNAS CORE: enable the WebDAV service; TrueNAS SCALE: install and configure the WebDAV app, since native WebDAV was removed in modern SCALE releases
   • Generic WebDAV: make sure PROPFIND, MKCOL, PUT, GET, MOVE, and DELETE are available
3. If Odoo is hosted outside the local NAS network, make the WebDAV endpoint reachable securely. Prefer a reverse proxy with a valid TLS certificate, a VPN/secure tunnel such as WireGuard, Tailscale, or Cloudflare Tunnel, or a vendor relay such as Synology QuickConnect or QNAP myQNAPcloud. Avoid exposing an administrator interface to the Internet
4. Create a dedicated NAS user with full rights only inside the target shared folder: read, create, write, move, and delete. Do not use an administrator account
5. Go to Odoo Cloud Storage > Configuration > Cloud Clients and press 'Create'
6. As a reference, introduce any name which would be clear to all users
7. As a Cloud client, choose 'Synology NAS', 'QNAP NAS', 'TrueNAS', or 'WebDAV NAS'
8. As a Root folder name, enter a title that will be used as the parent NAS directory for all synced folders. For example, 'Odoo' or 'OdooERP'
9. Enter the full WebDAV URL, login, and password. Optionally define a base path if Odoo should create the root folder inside an existing share or directory
10. Keep 'Verify SSL' enabled for public HTTPS endpoints. Disable it only for a trusted private endpoint with a self-signed certificate
11. Optionally define a browser base URL if NAS files should be opened through a vendor file station URL instead of the raw WebDAV URL
12. Press 'Confirm'. Odoo checks the WebDAV connection and creates or finds the root directory. NAS - Odoo synchronization is ready to be done
13. Apply the newly created cloud client to folder rules and/or manual folders which should be synced to that NAS storage
14. Await the sync scheduled job to be started. For testing purposes only: trigger integration manually from Cloud Storage > Configuration > Configuration > the button 'Launch sync'.
