[problem solved] iPad loses connection to Synology NAS in the Files app

solution:

If the old smb connector is still in the sidebar of the Files app, click the exit button.
Reset 'Connection to Server' in the Files app. Put ".local" in the smb server name, such as "smb://XXXX.local", even though the smb server address given by the Synology OS has no ".local" extension.

“.local” is designated for use in link-local networking, in applications of multicast DNS (mDNS) and zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) so that DNS service may be established without local installations of conventional DNS infrastructure on local area networks.
