DiskStation and mount it on their device.

1
Select a shared folder you want to encrypt, and then click
Edit
to open the settings window.
2
Tick
Encrypt this shared folder
, enter the encryption key in the
Encryption key
field, and enter the same key
again in the
Confirm key
field.

Choose the size of the AES encryption key from the
Encryption key size (bit)
drop-down menu.
