  • Poor IOS integration

    Does not integrate into Files app well all it does is just opens up the app from within the Files app so you cant move files easily so whats the point? Waste of time.
  • Needs updates

    I’d think after a few months. It’s time for an update. 300 videos are none of which are big file videos by any means. Over a whole day for the first time to download them back to my phone for a bit and only 60% of the video library downloaded onto the phone. Here I am 4 attempts later and it’s still taking hours to do just a little over 40 now.

  • Better Files app integration please!

    This is a decent app overall, but I wish it would integrate properly with the Apple Files app so it shows up properly instead of a pop-up window. Come on Synology, it’s been over a year…time to fix this!
  • It’s just read only which is kind of weird

    Pop open a browser and you can do any reads or writes, but the only modifying you can do in this app is uploads. No copying files or moving folders which feels like a very strange omission.
  • MP4s only play for 11 seconds max?

    I don’t normally write a review and had been happy, however over the past few weeks when trying to review downloaded videos on my iPad Pro, videos either do not play or play for 11 seconds max... then stop? This is regardless of video length or size.

    The videos are recorded from my Samsung phone and transferred to my Synology NAS via DS file on the phone. When I review the same videos on DS file on the Samsung I have no issues? I have fast download and upload WiFi so it is not that.

    I had a message regarding video codecs whilst watching a video in the iPad Pro DS file app whilst watching a video several weeks ago, it made a recommendation so I selected ‘ok’. It has not worked since. My iPad Pro is up to date as is your app.

    Please advise as this is extremely annoying and impacting my workflow.

  • Can’t download multiple files to camera roll etc w/o share

    Have to use share to download one at a time to camera roll or another application. You can’t select multiple files to share to somewhere on your phone.

    Can’t view video or tiff previews. Can’t play videos of any type even iPhone videos.
  • Just what I need

    ..to access files on Synology DiskStation from iPad. Could not be simpler with QuicConnectID.
  • Inconsistent automatic photo backup

    Automatic photo backup in the background doesn’t work at times. App has to be open to upload the photos. It won’t upload automatically in the background if the app is closed. Please fix.
  • Very good, but one feature could make it great

    Love using this app, but the main thing that drives me crazy is that when I am uploading pictures from “files” (not “photos”) on my iPad, I cannot select more than one picture at a time. So as i’m trying to upload 150+ pictures from a photo shoot, I am doing this 1 by 1.
