NAS to NAS Migration
Posted by Marauders
I am trying to merge two other NAS's (QNAP and Synology) over the UGREEN Sparkbox. I noticed that I do not have permissions (maybe not the right word) to just drop the movies, TV shows, and other files straight into the folder that houses everything on jellyfin. Right now to move files from my Synology, I have enable rsync to start pushing files to the Ugreen. My question is, Is there a better way to do this so everything is in one location? I having fragmented locations for movies/tv shows and books not be ideal. Appreciate it all

Yes, one folder is the goal — point everything at the single SparkBox media folder and let both rsync jobs land there. rsync is the standard way to move files between NAS boxes, so you're on the right track; just aim both the QNAP and Synology at that same media folder and keep the Movies / TV Shows / Books layout so Jellyfin picks them all up in one place. The permission part isn't something you broke — that media folder is looked after by the NAS's own file app, so a PC being blocked from dropping files straight in is normal. Going in over the network is exactly right. If you ever see a "Permission denied" when SparkBox moves files, run sudo sparkbox check-media-perms and it prints the exact safe fix.
