How to sync to ReunionTouch when Reunion source files live on NAS

[northbrae]

Setup:
MacMini with small amount of local disk but vast oceans of Synology NAS storage. Reunion database is very large, so all Reunion files live on NAS.

Problem:
Neither iCloud Drive nor Dropbox support syncing from NAS.

Question:
How to keep ReunionTouch automatically updated? Someone must have invented this wheel already.

I don't know if this will work or not, but I wonder if DropBox or iCloud would include it from the NAS if you made a hard link (Not and alias) from the file on the NAS to somewhere on the computer.

To make a hard link, ask Google how to do it. I've done it before for things and it requires some code in the Terminal.

Roger,
Thanks for your suggestion, but: because the NAS is a different filesystem from the MacMini local disk, it would have to be a symbolic link rather than a hard link, and iCloud Drive and Dropbox both note that symbolic links are also not supported. I need some other mechanism.
