Accessing your Synology storage can be accomplished through the following steps:
1. Connect your Synology DiskStation to your local area network or wireless network.
2. Install the DiskStation Manager (DSM) on your DiskStation. DSM is an operating system designed for Synology NAS devices. You can download it from the official Synology website.
3. Once you've installed DSM, open any web browser on your computer.
4. Enter either 'diskstation:5000' or the IP address of your Synology DiskStation.
5. You'll be taken to the DSM login screen. Enter your username and password.
6. Once you're logged in, you'll be presented with the DSM desktop. From here, you can access 'File Station', which is where your Synology storage can be accessed.
Remember to set up proper access rights for your stored files and folders. You can set up user groups and permissions in the 'Control Panel' in DSM.
If you want to access your Synology storage remotely, you can use Synology's QuickConnect feature or configure a VPN.
To use QuickConnect:
1. Set up a QuickConnect ID in 'Control Panel'.
. Log into your Synology account and register your DiskStation with your QuickConnect ID.
3. You can then use this ID to remotely access your DiskStation in any browser or through mobile applications provided by Synology.
Keep in mind that your DiskStation needs to be powered on and connected to the internet to be accessible.

Also for safety, make sure to update the DSM and other packages to the latest version to keep your Synology NAS secure.
