Qsync was successfully installed on two Macs with a TS-h886 running QuTS Hero for past couple months. No complaints.
Recently updated MacOS applications to latest 5.0.0.1916 version (one Mac is Intel, one is M1). Now Qsync application opens, the icon appears up top, and a sync begins. Within 2 seconds of loading, however, the program terminates without notice. The icon disappears and Activity Monitor shows Qsync client no longer running.
This is happening on both computers. I've tried reinstalling the Qsync clients, rebooting both computers, and disabling/re-enabling Qsync on QNAP. Also, rebooting QNAP.
After all this, Qsync client will open, grey icon turns blue with checkmark (connected), begins to spin to indicate syncing, then terminates.
Any thoughts/ideas? Odd that it just stopped working on both computers without warning.
Thanks all.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
I had the same problem, and it's gotten worse. Mac Mojave, ancient QNAP TS-469-L with the latest kernel (4.3.4.1652). Qsync 3.6.0.1026 worked perfectly. Got tired of the daily nattering to update, so I downloaded and installed 5.0.0.1916, which failed at launch as you described. I remove it (simply deleted the client app), and then installed 3.6.0.1026. It complains that my user name or password is incorrect (red message, "Incorrect username or password").
I removed the app, dug around in the usual places to remove any files I could find related to Qsync, rebooted in safe mode (to clear caches), and then rebooted normally. Installed 3.6.0.1026, got the same result (incorrect username...). I tried a different user, same result. Created a new admin user, same result.
I suspect some remnant of the old install is still hanging around, but I've not been able to find and remove it.
Can't go forward, can't go back. I'm out of ideas....

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
I raised a support ticket for this issue yesterday, supplied logs etc. It's probably worth you doing the same just to raise the profile. I downgraded QSync client (TimeMachine restore) to enable debug logging, then re-upgraded to 5.x to get the logs. Also sent NAS logs from Helpdesk at their request. Waiting for their next response.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
Thanks, I'll do that. I think I've narrowed down part of my problem. I fired up an old Mac (El Cap) on which I've not used Qsync in over a year. Prior to that I used it daily, just as I do now on my current Mac. The old box has Qsync version 3.3.4.0916; it worked perfectly. When I launched it just now I got the "Incorrect username or password" message, but shouldn't have, as I've not changed my log-in credentials.
Yesterday I updated the NAS's kernel from 20210324-4.3.4.1632 to 20210413-4.3.4.1652. That update was uneventful and exhibited no issues during my daily routine, so I'd put it out of my mind. But coincides directly with the Qsync problem. Hmmmm....
I'll look into the possibility of downgrading to that older kernel. If that's doable (and successful) I'll retest.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
I down/back graded the kernel to 20210324-4.3.4.1632, rolled back the Qsync client app on the Mac to the previous version, and continued to get the "incorrect username or password" message. I noticed an update to Qsync Central (on the NAS), to 3.3.3.02, was available. I installed that and my sync'ing issues went away. All is working properly now. When I have some time I will update the kernel to the latest version and test again. I will NOT update the Qsync client until (perhaps) the next release.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
Just adding to this as I have the same issue - one Mac I've upgraded QSYNC to 5.0.0.1916 and it starts and immediately crashes, another I've not upgraded (3.6.0.1026) continues to work as normal. My Mac's and NAS are running with all updates in place so it does appear to be a bug with QSYNC client.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
I am having the same problem with 1916 on an M1 Mac. There is a reddit post about a private test build of Qsync (v 5.0.1.1927) that seems to fix the nonstop crashing on macOS. Apparently they know about the trouble and are working on a solution. I have not found any notice of a 5.0.1 update anywhere.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
I have the same issues on my FIL’s Win 10 machine. Completely lost as to why but the symptoms seem identical: grey icon in tray, goes blue and disappears. Needs to be manually restarted and around we go. Probably not helpful as its a PC but I feel for you.

Re: Qsync application failing/terminating
Looks like the crashing issue is resolved with version 5.0.1.0802 for Mac
