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.

Too slow to connect, to browse and to view newly synced photos.

Tomasz Wiszkowski

STAY AWAY! THIS TOOL PRETENDED IT BACKED UP MONTHS WORTH OF MY WIFE'S PICTURES AND DELETED THEM. PHOTOS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND NOW. STAY AWAY! Seriously, I use Synology NAS for many years now, but this is a tremendous flaw. Not a single error message, not a single error log line. Just deleted everything. It couldn't get any worse. All photos are lost.

Michael Merlin

Good to watch the pictures on a synology server. However useless when it comes to all the other functions. Upload fails, pictures can only download in cache and not available in the phone, picture sharing is buggy, login very slow

Poor app. Qnap is better here. App cannot select playback quality. Update: found it in setting and does what expected (lowest for fast playback) but extremely bad documented. Why calling in standard quality??? Doesnt make sense.

DS Photo helps to keep your phone slim by moving photos from phone to the server (which later could be backed up to Amazon, Google or some other cloud)

Andrew Gee

Is it possible to to add a progress bar when photos are uploading?

Duncan Dawdry July 16, 2017

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.

Hugo reyes July 14, 2017

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

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

Martin D July 22, 2017

Does not work: "unknown error" appears at login. Other DS apps I've tried worked OK.

Christian Zangerl August 16, 2017

Is OK, but the auto-delete after backup serious needs the option to set a time. For example: After x Months, weeks, days. The current options of immediately or periodically do pretty much the same thing and I'd like the pics to remain on the phone for a while before deleting the local copy.

Stuart Heath August 22, 2017

Room for improvement for sure but just to backup photos from my phone it does the job OK. Latest update appears to be creating duplicates.

Griffin Klema July 18, 2017

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

Patryk Wolak August 17, 2017

Photo cannot be downloaded now - that's what I see every time I am trying to download to my phone pictures from Synology server

John B. June 22, 2017

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

Synology Inc. March 2, 2015

Hello John, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can clarify the issue: product@synology.com

Боян Терзиев August 18, 2017

Does not sync my photos as before. I have to run the app so the sync to start...

Photos no longer show up in the normal gallery app after backup

Attila B June 22, 2017

Good

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.

April 2, 2017

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.

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

Dimitris Sagias May 21, 2017

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*

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

Philippe Dutkiewicz June 5, 2017

Synology Inc. June 6, 2017

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.

Sydney De Vos April 16, 2017

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????

Syl L April 17, 2017

I cannot log in anymore!

James Fan August 24, 2017
