I had the same experience as the author, and spent a lot of time tinkering with various macOS configuration options trying to make it work reliably and quickly with the network shares from Synology NAS. Something that is effortlessly works on Windows and Linux machines out of box.
Eventually, I just gave up. It simply doesn’t seem to be possible. I find it extremely embarrassing for Apple that the fastest way to download and upload the files from the NAS is via its web interface, considering how much more complexity it involves compared to SMB/Samba that were specifically designed for the purpose.

- shantara 3y agoDoes macOS support mounting SFTP shares?
- geerlingguy 3y agoTransmit (by Panic) used to allow this functionality a while ago. The closest thing that would replicate some of the niceties of a Samba or NFS mount are taken care of by sshfs, but that utility is only maintained sparingly nowadays (and has a bunch of little quirks for use cases besides "copying files to and from the share"). I use Transmit sometimes when I'm just trying to copy folders and files and don't want to whip out scp, but otherwise, I like Samba and NFS, just... they're terrible in Finder.
- shantara 3y agoThank you. I’ll give it a try
- AnonC 3y agoThere are some third party apps that support mounting SFTP or other remote drives/paths so that they’re accessible in Finder and in other apps. Some of these are Transmit (by Panic Software), Forklift by Binary Nights, and Mountain Duck.
