Has anyone gotten Synology-Drive installed in nixos, I can’t seem to find any info.

The only way I have found to get the Synology app on Nixos is with a Flatpak, and it works very well.

unfortunately neither with nix nor flatpak synologyDrive seems to work at the moment. Has anybody made any progress on this? I get the error message

debug.message: Cannot find path by key “user_cloud_station_app_path”

and some more keys. My guess is that it has to do with nixos unique folder structure but it is unclear to me how to resolve it.

Could resolve this one. Had to remove Synology Drive completely by removing ~/.SynologyDrive (the dot file not your synced folder). After reinstalling Synology Drive worked just fine.

Not really satisfactory as I don’t know the root cause of the problem but at least I have been running SynologyDrive without any problems since then

Synology Drive won’t load from my startup script, and when I start it from terminal the program opens but it doesn’t load in the system tray and I get the following messages:

QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
    Available styles: Windows, Fusion
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_app_path"
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_data_path"
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_working_dir_path"
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_drive_ui_path"
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
    Available styles: Windows, Fusion

Unfortunately, uninstalling and deleting the ~/.SynologyDrive folder, and reinstalling didn’t help. Also, the flatpak didn’t work at all. Has anyone had similar issues with Synology Drive?

Update: The program opens in the background at startup if you launch it with:
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb synology-drive

The only bugs now are that the system tray icon is missing, and I still get the following messages:

debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_app_path"
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_data_path"
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_working_dir_path"
debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_drive_ui_path"

For my fellow Synologists, try ‘QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb synology-drive autostart’ for your startup command. That worked for me.
