Complete Zorin newbie here. Fairly (?) experienced Linux (RaspberryPi) and very experienced Elementary OS user.
I've got an old Dell XPS 13 9333 laptop (that I'm typing on) that I buggered up the Windows install and thought I'd switch to linux. I'm not entirely happy with EOS, which I have installed on another machine, and thought I'd try Zorin.
I've got a bit into the setup and run into some brick walls.
I've got a Synology NAS box that I've mounted several shares via fstab. All good.
I also use Resilio Sync to syncroniz files in my Documents, Downloads, etc folders amongst my various machines with the Synology being the home.
I would like to:
"remap" the Music and Video folders in Home to my mounted shares on my NAS. Is there a way to do that? IIRC in EOS I had to delete the appropriate folders in home and then recreate. There has to be a more elegant way of doing that.
I'm wanting to synchronize my Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders using Resilio Sync. When I go to create the sync in Resilio those folders do not appear in the folder selection list, and if I type them in, Resilio tells me it doesn't have write access. How can I alleviate that? I've changed permissions of the folders to no avail.

As a fellow NAS owner, that is actually an interesting approach. I mean I've never tried this, but it would make sense to just delete the folders, re-create them and mount them.
Resilio tells me it doesn't have write access.
This sounds like a permission issue. Right click the application > properties > permissions > set to read and write. I have not used Resilio on linux, but that sounds like the issue.
