Description

**You must own a Synology NAS to run this app, and have upgraded to Photo Station 6.6.0 on your Synology NAS to get the complete set of features**

DS photo allows you to browse through the photo collection on your Synology NAS server on the go, as well as interact with friends using the comments in real time. Organizing your photos is easy: with traditional albums, using tags to create virtual albums or with a simple tap with the timeline mode! Better yet, download albums to the Android device to view them even when no network connection is available, and use the Photo Backup to effortlessly upload your photos taken with your Android device onto your own personal cloud.

The worse. Like I said with DS Sync. A large lack of development. The log in is retarded. The app only talks to the native photo folder in the cloudstation so whatever you upload ds cloud wont be indexed here. The app does not allow for folder differentiation so if you want to back up your different folders from you phone, they all end up mixed in one folder in you cloudstation. To fix this, I use DS Cloud rather, however, images uploaded this way wont end in the photo native folder and so the system wont index them as images. So, to resume, a messed up laberinth of apps that dont talk to each other, use the cloudstatiin differently and are far away from being user friendly and streamlined. Waiting for third parties to develop something better and for developers in DS to get all fired

All Synology apps are hopeless, I've come to the conclusion that they don't read feedback and have no interest in fixing their apps so they actually work in the way their users need them to. What use is a photo backup app that doesn't work with SD cards? Useless.

Clint Banning

Horrendous battery hog that uses 11% per hour on S8+ with android 7. Set only to backup over wifi, both pictures and videos with multiple folders selected for backup. The setup is also clunky. I wish three a w way too select a nightly backup once it's plugged in at night but it stays on all day and drains drains drains

This has been a great app for automatically backing up photos.

Will not allow remote DNS login. Cert is valid, can login with DS file, but not this app.

Having a camera uploads folder with tens of thousands of pics makes it difficult to scroll to find older photos. Having better sorting options within the app and a better timeline viewing mode that allows you to select a specific date would be great. In timeline mode you can't select a specific date or interval from 2p11 for instance to display the pics made at that time.

Can't login. "Unknown Error". But 2 other Synology Apps log in fine. A shame, as photography storage is what I use my 2 Synology servers for. Update to 3 stars. Figured it out. Must have photo station installed for this to work!

May 7, 2017

Mixed feelings. Used to be better as images and videos were uploading instantly but now it has to opened to start uploading. This is how it is on iPhone and I had to replace it with another application. I don't know if it is because my android is 7 or not. You can fix it I'm sure.

The stability issues are mostly resolved. Now if they could enhance the search function to much that of the web interface by supporting searches with multiple keywords.

Shiff Gamer March 29, 2017

it's good and. it's ok but what I would love to see with mobile is instant upload from a smartphone with photos all videos taken on a smartphone login or authenticated with this application or 100% recommend but at this stage I only give it a free out of 5 great application but lacking the feature of instant upload buy a camera on a smartphone

Kit Carruthers May 5, 2017

'Unknown Error' message when I try to login. Other DS apps login fine. Completely useless to me, hence 1*

June 12, 2017

Crashes every time I try to Chromecast photos, on two different Android devices, so no use for sharing pictures on big screen

Shaheer Shabaan April 14, 2017

I can't log in. I can do with other DS applications but not with this. it was working fine before.

Ian Herbert June 10, 2017

This app should score 5stars, coming from Synology as it does, but guaranteed crashes EVERYTIME Chromecast is selected as the player means that a zero score is more appropriate!

Dennis Leech April 20, 2017

I can't log in anymore, so pretty useless

Dear Philippe, would you please contact Synology support regarding login failure problems, so that we could duplicate at our side to fix? Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Keeps uploading endless copies of the same photo during backup on Nexus 5X.

Panagiotis Aronis March 29, 2017

No option to upload files only when charging. No days selection for deleting uploaded files.

Thomas R June 11, 2017

"Album data can't be loaded"....... Ever. DS Audio works fine, why not DS Photo????

good

TOM HANAUER March 15, 2017

Was great, now won't login with 'unknown error' message. Cache wiped, data wiped, uninstalled, reinstalled same problem. All other ds apps logging in fine with same credentials. And as an aside, why not just have one app, 'DS' combining all the current crop?

Kyle B March 18, 2017

Makes me wonder why the hell I bought my NAS. Search is busted beyond recognition. Can't even play videos. Only good thing is auto upload. Rest of it is total and complete garbage. Synology appears to have no interest in fixing any of these issues. Hilariously, using the Firebox Mobile Web Browser and accessing the photo site via the web allows video playback while this OFFICIAL SYNOLOGY APP does not. WTF? Going back in time with Timeline view takes an eternity. Totally worthless. Virtually zero new features in over 2 years. Just "bug fixes" and security updates.

James Rufer March 15, 2017

Routinely "disconnects" even when connected. That is, it doesn't upload when it should. Unreliable as an automatic photo backup solution ala OneDrive, Google photos etc. Which is the point.

Pavol Panelovic March 17, 2017

Nonstop crashing When I want to open photo from thumbnail it loads so slow and lot of FC. I can't understand why it's so slow on wifi.

A Google User March 28, 2017

I have to constantly open the app so that the automatic backups can continue. Kinda makes them manual backups if you ask me...

Andrew Ashman March 17, 2017

This app works fine except I'm unable to share the photos when not connected to the NAS. A scenario is when I'm showing my friends a picture from the downloaded album, and they want a copy - gives the error "the file format is not supported"

Stéphane Favre February 24, 2017

download does not work anymore!

kenny johnston March 23, 2017

Unknown error ...won't let me sign in

Stefan Tichelaar February 24, 2017

It's ok but it really needs sharing as actual attachment (not as link)

Ronald Cancel February 20, 2017

The best

wardl895 February 24, 2017

Great app

Steffen Schnitzer November 23, 2016

Not usable since last update. Trying to log in gives me "unknown error". In general the app is very very slow. Navigating through folders (going back and forth) is horrible, especially when your album count is high. Sort order is not well adjustable (Should be different for files and folders when it comes to pictures) and it takes ages changing the order (as if it would have to reload everything from the server). However, this app is the only way I am able to access my Photo-Station from my phone 'properly' ... Synology, please fix this!!! Nexus 5 here

Cameron Gross December 1, 2016

Does not upload all videos Htc10 full quality videos will not upload automatically. Error given states DS Photo is unable to upload: format not supported. Format is mkv, 4k high res audio

What's New

DS photo is now available on Android TVs, allowing you to enjoy photos and videos on the large screen of selected smart TV models or with a smart set-top box.
