What's New in DSFile Station

1.3

September 6, 2026

== Version 1.3 • Share links & background transfers! == • Share any file or folder with a public link: expiration date, password protection and QR code — create one from any file menu, manage them all from the Home screen. • Transfers now run in the background: lock your phone or switch apps, your uploads and downloads keep going — and pick up where they left off after an interruption. • Filter your searches by type (folders, videos, photos, music, documents, archives) right from the magnifier in the search bar. • Compress files into a ZIP archive directly on your NAS. • The preview opens fullscreen on iPad, with a Photos-style swipe down to close. • More reliable offline downloads and clearer error reporting, plus many small fixes. == Version 1.2 • Faster everywhere & archive extraction! == • Browsing is much faster: thumbnails load instantly and stay cached, folders open without waiting, and long lists keep scrolling smoothly. • Photos and videos open right away — a preview shows while the file loads, and videos stream straight from your NAS. • Extract archives directly on your NAS, here or into any folder — password-protected ones included. • Save any file to the Files app, right next to Share. • Select files and folders together, and follow batch deletions with real progress from your NAS. • Fixed Save to Photos album selection, paths containing "+", and previews opening the wrong file after a search.

Not remotely worth the cost

I was hoping this might be a good replacement for Drive, however it lacks any real deep features. I couldn’t even figure out how to select multiple folders. It feels very thrown together, and a subscription for $25 one-time option is laughable.

Build the app to be worth the money, right now it’s a complete ripoff.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I totally understand the frustration. DSFile Station is still at the beginning of its journey. I simply wanted a modern and reliable alternative to the official apps. Many new features are coming very soon, including deeper file management capabilities. If you have a moment, I'd love to hear which features you're missing most. You can reach me directly at contact@dsfile.app, and your suggestions will help shape the roadmap. Have a nice day, Thomas.

Très belle surprise

Enfin un gestionnaire de fichiers pour DSM avec une interface moderne, car celui de Synology semble avoir mille ans.
Il serait encore meilleur si, en plus de la date, il pouvait afficher l’heure de chaque fichier.
Et petite remontée de bug, ou alors j’ai loupé une étape : je ne trouve pas comment supprimer un dossier (pas uniquement son contenu)
Merci pour l’appli et bravo pour le boulot !
