Hello,
I do have 3 USB disks connected to a Synology NAS.
Unfortunately, I cannot add multiple USB disks to MinimWatch as it conflicts somehow.
Please see image
OK
/volume1/Music
/volumeUSB2/usbshare
I cannot add this folder:
/volumeUSB3/usbshare
'Directory name conflict; correct highlighted value and retry'
Where is the conflict? is it the 'usbshare' in conflict? I cannot change this unfortunately.
Thanks!

Quote:If you have multiple content directories, you can't use the same name for the final folder in more than one content directory path. For example, you can't have both /volume1/Music/Classical and /volume2/Music/Classical but you can have both /volume1/Music/Classical1 and /volume2/Music/Classical2
Are you not able to create a new parent folder for your music on one of the USB drives?
Another option might be to create a bind mount, although I don't think that's possible through the GUI.

Thanks for the right pointer to the docs, sorry for questioning when I could find it myself ☺️.
I’ll try to consolidate, the easiest way. Thanks again for replying!

A simple solution would be to create a subfolder under each usbshare folder and move your music to this subfolder.
/volume1/Music
/volumeUSB2/usbshare/usb2
/volumeUSB3/usbshare/usb3
