Hi @Mike_Crosby,
Thanks for confirming how the Drobo is connected. In this case, you need to specify the SMB address in Roon. It looks like you might have the Drobo mounted as a share on your Mac. You can add the Drobo by finding it’s SMB address and then following the convention listed in our Add Folders By Path guide:
Content Stored On a NAS Drive
- To add network storage, we recommend using your NAS drive’s hostname, such as
\\DISKSTATIONorsmb://MyNASDrive. You can usually find this information by logging into your NAS., and examples are below.- You can also use your NAS drive’s IP address, but note that this can change, depending on your network’s settings.
- Note : AFP Share are not supported, you must use SMB or hostname to connect to the NAS share. You can find more information about why AFP is not supported here.
- If you are still having issues with setting up the NAS share, further suggestions can be found in our NAS Troubleshooting FAQ
Examples
- If your Roon Core is running on Windows, the path to your networked folder might look like this:
\\MyNASDrive\Multimedia\Music
or
\\192.168.1.120\Multimedia\Music
- If your Roon Core is running on Mac or Linux, the path to your networked folder might look like this:
smb://MyNASDrive/Multimedia/Music
or
smb://192.168.1.120/Multimedia/Music
- After you’ve entered the network path in Roon, enter the credentials required to access your NAS. If a username, password, or workgroup isn’t required to access your NAS, just leave the relevant fields blank and click Add Folder
