One-click jump between the same file in Synology Drive (on-demand) and the
SMB share, right from Finder. Both directions.

You know the pain: you find a file deep in Synology Drive, but it's too heavy to
pull down on-demand, so you open the same share over SMB and walk the whole path
again by hand. This does it in one click.

What it does

  • Right-click a file or folder → Synology Swap → its counterpart opens in the other source.
  • Works both ways, direction auto-detected.
  • If the SMB share isn't mounted, it mounts it from your Keychain first.
  • The counterpart opens as a Finder tab; swap back and it returns to the tab you already had open.
  • Interactive installer asks which SMB share each Drive folder maps to. It never guesses an unmounted share.

Install

git clone https://github.com/Sheppfilm/synology-swap.git
cd synology-swap
./install.sh

Requirements

macOS, the Synology Drive Client, and SMB access to the same shares. No dependencies, pure /bin/bash.

Feedback and ideas are welcome. If it saves you some clicks, there's a coffee link in the README.
