Resilio Connect is not published in Synology's Package Center, so it needs to be installed manually. 
To do that follow the steps: 1-10 for fresh install, and 6-10 for Agent update if you already have it installed. before updating stop agent. 

Account "admin" mandatory

Please make sure you perform these steps as the Synology admin. In some cases the admin account is disabled, so you will have to enable the account before you can login.

1. Download the agent config from Management Console. Refer to this article for more information.

2. Login to Synology Web UI and open File Station. Click Create > Create New Shared Folder:

10. If everything set up correctly then Resilio Agent status will be running:

The agent will pickup the config and automatically connect to the Console. Config file will be moved to the Agent's storage. Thus "sync.conf" will disappear from Resilio Agent folder and Downloads folder will appear there:

By default, all shares will be stored in the directory as defined in "folders_storage_path" value in agent config file sync.conf. This might be %DOWNLOADS%, %HOME% or %USERPROFILE% variable, their default destinations are given here. You can change these defaults by editing folders.conf file in /usr/local/resilioagent/var/: 

{
  "downloads_folder_path" : "/volume1/Resilio Agent/Downloads",
  "user_profile_folder_path" : "/volume1/Resilio Agent",
  "home_folder_path" : "/volume1/Resilio Agent",
  "management_server": {
    "host": "0.0.0.0:0"
  }
}
