Read before starting a new support ticket:

You can use either your Synology Account or preferred email address to start a new support ticket from DSM.
Every required field must be filled in on the new support ticket.
To avoid misunderstandings, please submit the support ticket in English or Chinese.

Tips for starting a new support ticket:

Describe the issue you are reporting and include any steps you have taken to troubleshoot on your own. Include details that will help Synology technical support engineers understand the issue. If it is possible, provide numbered steps including screenshots to reproduce the situation.
Our support system will remove attachments larger than 20 MB.

What to expect after a support ticket is sent:

A Synology technical support engineer will contact you shortly after the support ticket is sent.
If you have not heard from us, it is very important that you make sure that these emails are not blocked by security software on your computer or in your network.
Every support ticket has a unique ID and this ID is contained in the email subject of emails sent in response to the support ticket.
Our technical support engineers may ask you to enable remote access on your Synology NAS in order to run further diagnosis from a Synology Office. Please refer to Support Services for detailed instructions.

Support Services

Support Services include both remote access and log generation tools, allowing our technical support engineers to quickly view, diagnose, and resolve technical issues on your Synology NAS from a Synology office. To do this, go to Support Center > Support Services.

To enable remote access:

Enable remote access on your Synology NAS only when you are being asked by Synology technical support engineers.

Tick the Enable remote access checkbox, and then click Apply for the changes to take effect.
Provide Synology technical support engineers with your admin password and the support identification key via email.

Note:

Remote access will be automatically disabled after 14 days. It should not be manually disabled by then unless a Synology technical support engineer asks you to do so.
Please remove any contents from your Synology NAS that you consider to be private.
Although Synology cannot guarantee that the provision of remote access will resolve your issue, Synology will make reasonable efforts to perform support services in a professional manner.

To generate logs:

Generate and provide logs only to Synology technical support engineers.

Click Generate logs then wait for a few minutes before the download is complete.
