I'm thinking of getting a NAS(Synology) for coding, and was wondering if the was any way to use developer tools on it. I'm mainly looking to using it with Firebase Emulator, Next.js and Flutter, and was wondering if this was possible. Basically, I'm wondering if I can access the file from the NAS without cloning them on my local machine, and still run it as if it was.

What I have tried:

I've tried looking online, and couldn't find anything.

With all the NAS's I've used, you can map a NAS folder to a virtual disk on the PC: I do it all the time with NASes.
But ... using a NAS won't give you the same speed you do from a local disk - I get 500Mb/sec locally, and 35 Mb/Sec write speed to the NAS over a Gigabit wired connection.

The advantage of a NAS is security: run it in RAID 5 and if a disk fails you don't lose anything.
If you want more space and speed, then go with another internal SSD - it'll be quicker, cheaper, and easier to backup as well.

Geez haven't I thought of that. Thank you very much for the input. I'll check to see if it solves my problem, as I have around 300+ users that would be accessing that folder once created. I used to upload the files itself to the database and it's gotten really humongous in size (100+GB) both for the LDF and MDF file due to that. Thanks again! :)

I only just got round to reading my emails this morning, and assumed this was a reply to the solution I posted to your QA question ...
