Below are system built-in shared folders.
Name Description
public The "public" shared folder will be created automatically
after the first-time setup on Synology 1-bay models.
web The shared folder “web” is for storing web pages. When
Web Station is enabled, the "web" shared folder will be
created automatically. You can upload web pages to the
"web" shared folder to build your website. For detailed
information, please refer to “Extra Features > Web
Station” section.
photo The shared folder “photo” is for storing image and video
files you want to share on Photo Station 3. It will be

system will automatically create a shared folder called
“usbbackup”. Refer to “Server Backup and PC Backup
Solutions> Local Backup” section for details.
satabackup After you connect external SATA HDD to Synology
Server’s eSATA port and format it for the backup purpose,
system will automatically create a shared folder called
“satabackup”. Refer to “Server Backup and PC Backup
Solutions> Local Backup” section for details.
NetBackup The shared folder “NetBackup” is for saving backed up
files using Network Backup. Please refer to the “Backup >
Network Backup" page of the Web Management UI.
