User Reviews for DS photo
Very good app but with a glitch in auto backup
Really like this, as I use it instead of iCloud now. However, sometimes I have to open the app and click on the task list to get it to upload my iPhone photos when it’s set to automatically back them up.
Missing Many Simple Features
- This app seems to stop uploading content in the background for unknown reasons, even though background app refresh is on. I will leave the app and come back to it a while later to find it is still close to where I left off for uploading. - It can’t upload slow-mo videos unless you keep the original file name. - It doesn’t offer a quick retry option for files that fail to upload due to what is almost always an “unknown error.” - You can’t drag to select a group of photos, you can only select all or one at a time. - There’s no pause/retry button if an upload stalls, only the option to cancel; this means you have to close and reopen the app if it stalls. - The app doesn’t keep the screen active when it seems to need to have the screen unlocked and the app on screen. - Similarly, you have to keep your screen active and unlocked while it prepares photos to upload or it will stop and freeze. - Has a “preparing” pause before EACH PHOTO that is uploaded. This pause can be longer than it takes to upload the photo.- Can’t seem to simply select an album and start a slideshow for that album. Overall, this app could use some attention to get some simple additions and changes made. Not sure what separates this from using DS File, for example.
Desperate for an update… ignored
Over 3 years waiting for an update says about all you can say. We have this app on all of our iphones and continue to use it to transfer family photos to our synology server for archive and processing in photo station… but it is fair to question if this app is truly still supported after 3 years. Most of the problems are well-documented in other comments, and they continue to grow and be ignored. My main annoyance is the looping bug on WEBP photos. WEBP is growing more popular by the day as a photo format but Synology continues to ignore it. Every time we are updating photos to the server we must delete any WEBP format photos from the phone to allow updating to successfully complete. This bug has been known for years. Ignored. The Moments experiment has mostly been a failure. It is time for Synology to update these more stable and useful older programs.
Initial upload took a while, no support for proprietary Apple format
The initial upload took a while since the app transcodes all photos from Apple proprietary format to the standard JPG but it went well and the app kept the phone unlocked in the meantime. Now I can relax that all my photos are automatically backed up and I can view them from the server.
Backup feature has issues
Seriously, if you have any images downloaded that happen to be .webp format you’re not going to get any photo backing up done. It will get to one of those and just stop at “preparing” for the rest of eternity until you find the image and manually delete it.
Videos over 4GB bug
There is an issue when you try to upload a video that’s over 4GB. It will start uploading and when the progress bar reaches the end it will start again. But if you check the folder using the file explorer, you can see the video was uploaded correctly but the will keep trying to upload it again and again... my wife uploaded a 4.5GB video 10 times without noticing. Fix this please.
Wasted some of my time..
I had ds photo,file, and video all working at one point. After a while I came back to backup my photos on the iPhone and the app will not allow me to login. I changed nothing.. ok, then I went to file app and it gave me an option to backup photos. It does nothing.. I am realizing the apps seem broken. Disappointed, Synology please keep apps updated…
okay but needs more functions
My family has a Synology so we use this for photo backup. As a general photo storage app it’s OK, but it’s not great for searching and viewing photos on the go (takes forever to load photos on both WiFi and data). Photo uploads are also very, very slow.
Photo backup again and again
It seems really hard to remember if a picture is uploaded or not. When I open the app after a month to back up pictures, it will start over from the beginning.
Doesn’t upload photo in the background
Tried everything. Background restriction is disabled. Geofencing is on. Location set to always. Full access to all photos. And still it doesn’t upload photos in my camera roll automatically and even if I start the app and get it going, the minute i exit the app, it will stop uploading. This is total garbage.
Description
*You must own a Synology NAS to run this app and be running the latest Photo Station 6.6.0 package 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. Organising 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 iDevice to view them even when no network connection is available, and use the Photo Backup to effortlessly upload your photos taken with your iDevice onto your own personal cloud.
