There isn’t a clear way to uninstall the Synology Cloud Station client on Ubuntu from the GUI. The only ways seems to be from the command line and it took me a while to find it.
Cloud Station is installed in your home directory in a hidden folder called ./Cloudstation. There is an uninstall script buried in a few folders down.
Open a terminal and run:
./CloudStation/CloudStation-app/package/uninstall
Job done.
I hope this helps someone.
I have a few Synology NAS at work which are used for storage. I have been locking down the firewall on them to only allow certain ports from specific IP subnets. However, I still wanted to be able to ping the Synology from anywhere. I couldn’t work out how to configure the Synology firewall to let through pings ( ICMP messages).
You have to go to: Control Panel -> Security -> Firewall -> Create:
Under ports select Custom and then under protocol select ICMP.
Press OK a few time and then Save the firewall settings. You should then be able to ping the NAS without any problems.
Synology have released a Linux Cloud Station Client – which is brilliant news. Well done Synology for listening to your customers. It works really well and is quite easy to installed.
Step 1 – Download the Cloud Station Client for Linux from here. Note – there is a section for Linux so don’t download the Windows client.

Step 2 – Extract the download
tar -xvzf CloudStation-Linux-Installer-2572-64bit.tgz
Step 3 – Run the ./install file . Important – don’t run it as root! If you run the install script as root no menu icon will appears and the client will not run.
./install
The rest is quite simple – just follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
p.s. If you ever want to uninstall Cloud Station – here are quick guide.
