The file management works...
But don't gaslight people and say your app will open for out viewing pleasure various file types. The list of file types has continued to grow but you lost basic function. I used to be able to watch a season of videos without having to do anything. Not since the last update. With this version, one video will play normal, the next will be sound only, and eventually not even that. Please note, if I want to do work to load the next episode I can play each video with the VLC app. I could also open all the videos in a VLC playlist and not need to open each one individually but you broke that too. Can't get VLC to connect to the new NAS directly anymore, now it is only accessible to get a video on via your fairly frustrating Files app. We pay enough for the hardware, quit shirking your responsibilities with the apps or we'll all be jumping ship like rats from the titanic.
Missing core features from 2015
Still does not natively integrate with files for drag and drop, does not support splitview nor slide over. These are core features for any file management app that Apple introduced over 4 years ago. Because of the lack of support for the basics, I’ve actually begun using OneDrive and iCloud Drive for storage because their apps always take advantage of the latest features within a reasonable timeframe.Final update 2020: This app (and most of their apps) seems to be neglected. As such, I sold my NAS and migrated to iCloud Drive. The whole “private cloud” idea is great, love the hardware and OS, but it’s just not usable in 2020 with abandoned mobile apps.
Works fine for me
I’ve been using this app a few years now, and it does what I need it to. When I open then app on my home WiFi, all recent photos download to my NAS. It will only download photos when the app is open, but I will usually be working on other files as it downloads in the background. I can view all my stored data, and export files. I can save articles on my phone, and depending on the app, I can either save directly to the drive, or save it on Dropbox and then transfer the file to the drive. With Word, I love that I can copy & paste an article from the web, save it on Dropbox, then open Dropbox and export it to the NAS, all within minutes. It is a simple app, and doesn’t have all the features you would get on a pc, but it’s very effective for remote access.My only gripe is that the photo upload will only work when I’m at home on my own WiFi network; it will not upload any photos on any other WiFi network. Why is that, and how can I configure my NAS to upload on any WiFi?
Serves my purposes
I just needed a way to access, share files and save to iPhone. This offered that which is great. People complaining about video playback pick odd choices for a video player however it does offer to download video into VLC player which is a better player. Just click the vid and VLC choice will be offered if installed.
Very versatile!
I have been using this app for years to download PDF files from the web to my NAS. SAFARI can save PDFs to DS File, which can then save the file locally or directly to my NAS. - It is also very handy for downloading movies from the NAS to watch at a later date.- It works well to download, organize, and view my sheet music for guitar & ukulele playing. Much easier to use than Goodreader, so I dont use that app as much anymore.- Occasionally, I will also use this to remotely manage files on my NAS (rename, copy or move files, create new folders, delete files, etc.)Due to its versatility, stability, and ease of use, this is my most used NAS app. Thank you Synology!
Videos not playing, download, save not working
As the title states, I’m having issues with the videos not playing via the app. It keeps giving me an error. Also, I cannot download the photos to my phone. I’ve tried sending it via email or as a message but nothing works. Please fix this soon. I’ve also run into similar issues stated by other reviewers with uploads not working properly. Small loads seem to work fine but anything over 50 pictures, the app must remain open with nothing else running, and my phone screen left on and not going to sleep. Even still I seem to have issues with errors or photos missing. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 15.1.
Works as advertised
This app does the single thing I need it to do and which other apps fail to. Transfer photos off my phone without messing with them.* iOS Photos App - requires me to manually toggle to include all metadata when sharing a photo and converts from HEIC to JPG* Dropbox - renames the photo before uploading it (who thought that’s was a feature?)* Google Drive - works okay but I have had issues with syncing
Needs some tweaking
Ease of use(5/5): search for your NAS. Offers saved Log in for easy access. You can go through your files pretty easily. Upload: (2/5) this is where the problem is. I am uploading almost 1000 photos and videos. It keeps getting stopped or some stuff won’t upload. Finally on the 5th attempt, I kept the phone plugged and app open. this seems to be the only way for it to upload without any problems. Why are there like 10 different Synology apps that can do roughly the same thing? They should pool it all in one app and focus updates on one app instead of specifics. But so far, I like the NAS servers.
Does what I need pretty well
I use this to, duh..., access files on my NAS. For that it works well. This includes general app data as well as photos and videos. It does a good job streaming videos, though with few bells and whistles. I use Plex for that.It can save files from apps like Safari. It is also able to download files from the NAS to local storage on iOS. I really like this feature as I can copy videos I want to watch onto my iPad for offline viewing, then delete them when I’m done.I can’t recall having the app crash.
Works ok but I think instructions need updated
So I use this app to review some files on my NAS and it works fine for that. I set it up on mine and my wife’s iPhone to backup iPhone photos to the NAS. One thing in the instructions says choose a rule. I don’t see that setting in this version and suspect it was removed. Also, is this supposed to work on its own to check for new photos and back them up? It seems to on my phone but my wife’s phone I have to click the login button and then it starts to work. It hadn’t backed up since Apr. I’d say check instructions and make sure their accurate and make sure the automatic backup works.
