stored.

For DSM admin or users belonging to the administrators group (including domain administrators), domain users’
home folders are in the @DH-[Domain_Name] folder. The name of the user's home folder is the user account
plus a unique number.
Like local users, all domain users can access their own home folder via CIFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, File Browser
or File Station.
admin and users belonging to the administrators group can access all personal folders located in the homes
default shared folder.
All domain users' home folders are located in one of the sub-folders under a folder named @DH-domain name.
The name of the user's home folder is the user account plus a unique number.
Note:
 To delete the homes shared folder, user home service must be disabled first.
 Enabling domain user home service will also enable the local user home service if it's not enabled yet.
 The domain user home service would be disabled if the local user home service is disabled.
