Synology Drive Client - run at start-up

I'm having difficulties getting Synology Drive Client to run on start-up. Ideally I want it to minimise to the system tray and sit there syncing the Drive folder. Putting a launcher or link to it doens't start it at boot. Does anyone have any experience?

The answer is not to install the Zorin Flatpak version; there seems to be a difficulty with flatpaks loading early in the start-up. Install rather the deb from Synology. That way the binary is stored normally in /usr/bin and the installation will put an entry in the Startup Applications folder.

To start it minimised to the tray, change the launch line to "synology-drive autostart &" (i.e. add an ampersand to the end).
