About this app

Daran opens the NAS drives on your home network, right on your phone. Browse your shared folders, look through your photos, watch videos and listen to music straight from the drive, without copying them first.

MADE FOR HOME NAS DRIVES
• For drives that share files over SMB, as Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, OpenMediaVault and Windows do
• SMB 2 and SMB 3, with encryption when your drive offers it
• Finds the drives on your Wi-Fi network for you, or add one by its name or address

PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND MUSIC
• Photo folders open as a gallery, with thumbnails (uses Synology's ready-made thumbnails when it can)
• Swipe through pictures, pinch to zoom
• Videos and music stream instantly: no waiting for a download
• Swipe left or right to play the next or previous video

YOUR FILES, YOUR WAY
• Download files to your phone, or save them where you choose
• Upload photos and files, create folders, rename, move, copy and delete
• A transfer queue that keeps going in the background and picks up where it stopped
• Favourite folders, one tap away

SAFE BY DEFAULT
• Every drive starts read-only: nothing can be changed or deleted until you turn on write mode for that drive, and Daran asks before it does
• Never overwrites a file without asking
• Your passwords are encrypted with a key that never leaves your phone
• Your files go only between your phone and your drives. No account, no cloud, no servers of ours

Daran is free and shows a small ad banner on the drive and folder lists. No ads in the photo viewer, the player or the sign-in screens.

Daran needs a drive that shares files over SMB 2 or 3 on your local network. Very old devices that only speak SMB1 aren't supported, because SMB1 isn't safe.
