rsync project

I have purchased a Synology NAS to replace my Netgear NAS
I have SMB shares on both devices setup and want to transfer with the pemissions from the Netgear NAS to the Synology NAS.
I would rather not setup SSH but if that is the preferred way I will.
I don't want to use samba but if that is the preferred way I will.
I have several shares I want to transfer so I am looking for the easiest way to do this.
I use KDE so it is so easy to open Dolphin goto Network and see the shares from there by just typing smb://192.168.68.15/Documents 
and see the folders and files.
Can I do that with rsync without using samba and setting up a whole bunch of files and shares?

I am thinking of just using systemd mount and just changing it for each share . Then I just use the command :
rsync -azP /home/user/mnt/netgearfolder /home/user/mnt/Synologyfolder

Looking for some suggestions.
Let me know if you want anymore info

For mount you can also see & try: udisksctl, gio. See man page.
