I have my LR Catalog on the internal SSD drive and store all my Photos on a Synology NAS Network Drive.

When I restart Lightroom, I always get the "Missing" Folders and I have to right click and locate the missing folders.

 

I am usin MAC OSX and Latest release of Lightroom

Others have reported that when their NAS is configured to "sleep" after periods of not being used, when they start LR, the NAS takes a while waking up, but by the time it does, LR has already decided the NAS is offline and thus "missing".  

 

Before starting LR, used Finder to navigate among a few folders on the NAS to force it to wake up. Then start LR.
