File Station API
The FileStation API is an AuthenticatedAPI, that means the user needs to be authenticated before using this API.
Fortunately, the AuthenticatedAPI is smart enough to automatically log the user.
The syno object uses the fs (or fileStation alias) property to interact with the FileStation API.
