Storage space

Post by andy »

Hello, I’ve mapped my NAS to my PC so I have a C: drive (my laptop) and N: drive which is my NAS.

When I download files I save to my C: drive, I then copy to the N: drive and then delete the files from my C: drive.

However the C: drive storage remains the same, the files don’t appear but are not in the recycle bin either.

The files seem to count for storage both in C: drive although invisible and N: drive.

Are you able to help with what I’m doing wrong here?

C: drive is your internal drive of your lap top running Windows OS, right? I do not know what happened to your lap top. How is the file on your TNAS?
it has been successfully copied to N: drive?

Why not just specif N drive as the download location and save having to move and delete?

Yes, C: drive is internal laptop drive.
TNAS works perfectly, the files work normally.

When I search the laptop for large files, they are listed as N: drive files, but also count to my internal C: drive storage.

I use a VPN and when the VPN is active, the N: drive doesn’t connect.

Are you using VPN server or VPN connection? Could you give more detailed information in return? We'd like to test it here first.

I don’t know what the difference is. I use KeepSolid VPN app on my desktop but happy to provide more information.

When the VPN is connected, could you access your TNAS with Windows File Explorer?
VPN should have no business with mapped drive.

I changed the VPN protocol to OpenVPN and now the NAS remains permanently networked. This seems to have solved everting!
