You can copy data from a USB device to a shared folder on your Synology DiskStation using the Copy button.

USBCopy.

To perform USBCopy:

2 Press the Copy button (with the letter C) on the front panel of your Synology DiskStation.

Note:

 Only USB devices in FAT or NTFS format are supported.

 USB devices must be plugged into the USB port on the front panel of Synology DiskStation.
