NAS has the wrong icon in Finder.

[Mr Screech]

Installed a NAS last week.
On my old High Sierra mac it shows up with a nas icon in the left column of finder.
However on my M1 with Big Sur it shows up as a file-icon.

Finder has no extensions running and already tried to relaunch it.
Anyone knows a fix for this?

I have the same problem. In fact, I resurrected a post about it that's a few spaces down. Odd thing is it changed to a "desktop" icon for a few hours yesterday, and I thought some of my tinkering paid off. But no, it's back to the document icon today. No finder extension here either.

Mine's also the same way. When I click on it though, the sidebar shows the correct icon.

Well, just to put a cherry on top... I installed the public beta for macOS 12. You guessed it. Same generic document icon for the NAS. Although it does change from time to time to different icons, but doesn't stay with any of them long before which back to the document icon. This is inconsequential enough it will never be fix except through a happy accident.

Is your NAS sharing via SMB?

If so, in the /etc/samba/smb.conf configuration file, if you have 'fruit' enabled (eg. 'vfs objects = fruit'), then maybe change/add 'fruit:model = Xserve', and restart the Samba service?

It is, but I can't find samba or smb.conf anywhere on my Macbook Air M1 macOS12 (updated yesterday). Weird. Hidden files are set to show. Did they move it or rename it in macOS 12? Thanks for helping a newbie!

That file would be on your NAS, as the Samba service is run from there.

The samba service is running on a Synology NAS. I can't find an app that allows me to mess around with its default files. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it.
