You can already download it now on Github, but you would need to know how to sideload an app. If you don’t, just be patient and wait a few days untill Athom approves the new version in the appstore. ---

Sorry to hear that, especially since I made this new feature for you. But Im depending on 3rd party software modules that handle the SMB traffic. At this moment there is not much I can do for you. So you can only use the root of your SMB share, or you could switch to ftp or webdav. (Ps: and you are really sure that you are following the example? The subdirectory should NOT contain a / at the beginning or the end) ---

Hello Robin, The FTP is working fine. So i use that for now. To which example are you referring?? In the URL i have to use a / for the subdirectory name, or must i use another character to seperate the Volumename from the subdir name?? Henk ---

Hi, I really don’t know what could be going wrong, but I cannot seem to get any of the methods working. I just tested an SMB connection from my MacBook to my NAS which worked fine. With the same settings, my Homey will not connect. I use [//name.synology.me/Folder](https://name.synology.me/Folder) as the Network Share and Cloud as the subdirectory (which is literally a folder inside the share ‘Folder’ For Domain I’ve tested both DOMAIN and WORKGROUP (used on my NAS). I have tried two different accounts with both 1000% the right permissions. Any thoughts on what to try? ---

Try if the root share itself works (so leave the subdirectory field empty). As far as I have noticed the domain field doesn’t do much. ---

I guess the problem is I used my external adres. With the local IP it works! 🙂 One possible feature I’d like to see: it would be nice if there was an option to have every export in a separate folder (or is this already possible in the subdirectory setting and did I not see?), for example in a folder 20190828 - last 24 hours PS: Doing a full backup of last two years now successfully so seems to work perfectly 👌 Really nice to have some sort of regular backup for my own data!! ---

Thx 4 the compliment 😚 Saving in seperate folders is something I could take a look at. How would you want this to work, and why? And for all other forum users: please join the discussion for this feature request! ---

I now have a folder Homey/Insights in which all the backups will be placed. My plan is to have a daily backup (at 00:00) for the last 24h so it will be a relatively small operation. Each 1st of the month I will run a backup of the last month, after which the daily backups could be removed. 1-1-2020 a yearly backup, and the monthly backups can be removed. I would like to add to the settings (either in subdirectory or a separate field) a new folder name for each run by defining for example tags like DATE - TIMEFRAME. I inserted a photo of how my organisation would look like 🙂 ![59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/7/7addba6d14b502e7bd63d8f4a03e30de2f12c18a.png) Now each backup round will have a separate name per app, but they are all in the same folder (which will be a lot after 31 days for all my 30 apps… I like to keep things organised. ---
