Not sure what your use case is, but since there is no way to get an IP connection to the camera, the only way to transfer files directly would be from the SD card. My old Synology had an SD slot, but they seem to have gone away from that. But you could transfer files using an SD card reader. Here's one I've been using that will also transfer files to / from iOS devices: https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-RAVPower-External-Storage-Expansion/dp/B01MRFSDR1/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1492449220&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=ravpower+lightning+flash+drive&psc=1

Thanks for the link.   But, Once I make it down to the basement to plug something into the NAS, I'm there by the main PC anyway.   So I'd probably rather just do it via the PC at that point

I was hoping I could just start up the wi-fi and dump all the images to the NAS over FTP or SMB, but I certainly can't find a way.   I've essentially given up.

Maybe I can turn wake on LAN on my PC and use the Windows app to send them from the camera to the PC and onto the file share from the NAS.

I'm kind of spoiled with our phones.  They run a Synology photo app that automatically uploads all our photos the minute we get home and our phones hit the home wi-fi.   I never have to do a manual download and all our phone photos are just on the NAS viewable from any device.   I was hoping I could get my camera(s) to do the same.
