I did try renaming one of the users, but this did not fix this problem. Note: I do have the same Mac user name on both clients. As suspected, this finally fixed the issue. Still thinking the issue with Mac user related, I decided to create a new user on one of the clients and attempted to configure Cloud Station. I then restarted as well as repeated every step of troubleshooting above, but still the issue persisted. There is an option to “Create New” for UUID so I tried this. I assume the reason for this was because I used Migration Assistant. Note: You can access Advanced Options by going to System Preferences > Users & Groups, unlocking and then right-clicking a user. Then I noticed something odd, if you go to Advanced Options for the user account on the Mac, the UUID for both clients was the same.

Clearing the contents of Cloud Station and attempting to sync one client at a time.

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.
