NAS Gallery — SMB FTP WebDAV

Dean Tryhard Projects

About this app

Your NAS/PC is full of photos and videos — but browsing them on your phone still feels like digging through a file manager. NAS Gallery fixes that. It turns your home server into a clean, swipeable gallery, so your media finally looks the way it does in your phone's camera roll.

No cloud in the middle. No subscription. No account. Your files stay on your NAS, and your login stays on your phone.

────── WHAT YOU CAN DO ──────

🖼️ BROWSE LIKE A GALLERY, NOT A FILE LIST
Swipe through your photos album by album, exactly like your phone's built-in gallery. Tap any folder to drop straight into a full-screen slideshow. Jump to any page in a large album, next/preview album, and flip the left/right paging direction to match how you read — great for photo albums and for comic or manga folders stored on your NAS or PC.

▶️ PLAY VIDEOS INSTANTLY — NO DOWNLOAD
Tap a video and it plays, straight from the NAS. Seek, pause, and skip forward or back with on-screen controls. Plays MP4, MKV and other common formats via ExoPlayer, so you're not copying files to your phone just to watch them.

🔌 ONE APP FOR EVERY NAS
Connect however your NAS or PC speaks — SMB (Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, Windows shares), SFTP, FTP, or WebDAV — and browse your phone's local storage in the same place. Mixed-brand setup? No problem. There's no vendor lock-in like DS Photo or Qfile.

🔍 FIND ANYTHING IN SECONDS
Search folder and file names across your whole NAS. Build a local index once and results come back instantly — no waiting for a full directory scan every time you search.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your network credentials are stored only on your device, in encrypted Android storage. Nothing is sent to any external server. No ads, no tracking, no account required.

Plus the quality-of-life details that make it fast every day:
• Smart thumbnail caching so revisited folders load instantly
• Self-signed HTTPS certificate support for WebDAV — no certificate errors
• SFTP host-key verification to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks
• LAN device discovery so you don't have to type IP addresses

────── WORKS WITH ──────

• Synology DiskStation
• QNAP NAS
• TrueNAS / FreeNAS
• Windows file sharing
• Any device that speaks SMB, FTP, SFTP or WebDAV

────── GOOD TO KNOW ──────

• Needs Wi-Fi or LAN access to your NAS
• Remote access from outside your home needs a VPN or port forwarding on your router
• Video smoothness depends on your network speed and the video's bitrate

Turn your NAS into the gallery it always should have been.
