Open project from NAS fails

I am in the process of moving my projects from local harddrives (I'm using multiple computers) to my NAS. But I am having trouble right from the first project I tried.

I add it to the Hub (2.4.5)
Click on it to open
The editor starts and the hub closes
The Hub reopens
The editor closes

I checked the editor log, but I don't see any errors. last line:
Exiting without the bug reporter. Application will terminate with return code 0

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks!

 

I'm assuming it's 'Network Attached Storage': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage

 

Yeah, I mean the Network Attached Storage. Basically an external harddrive attached to my router. It shows up in Windows Explorer in the Network section. So I did not map it as a network drive, Windows handles it (through the SMB protocol).

For Windows it behaves as a regular external drive, but Unity seems to have problems with it. I can add the project to the Hub, but as I mentioned, it will not open.

But I'm about to give up on it. Too unstable (NAS doesn't show up in Windows Explorer right now, for example) and copying a Unity project to the NAS takes forever.

 

Can you NAS do NFS instead of SMB? Maybe that's an option, if there isn't anything on the NAS currently.

 

I tried setting up a network connection to the NAS, but it failed (I think it worked before, but I'm always fighting with forward slashes and backward slashes and maybe I need to change some settings).

But I tried the same approach to the harddrive in my other computer. First connected using the Network section, which did not work (same behaviour as for the NAS). And then created a network connection as the Z: drive for and that works.

Thanks for your support.

@cassius Thanks for the suggestion. There's already a lot of stuff on the NAS. It's connected through my Fritz Box and the support page explicitly mentions using SMB
