Excellent
I am not sure what people expected from this app. I currently have two phones & an iPad which back up to the Synology photo app remotely, allowing me to remove them from my phone saving space. It works perfect every time, I can view all the pictures in the Synology Photo’s app on my phone and also can access them via my laptop. It’s excellent and free.

Great Performance - Lacks Features
Utilizing the Synology Photos app and ecosystem has been a wonderful escape from Apple, Google, and other back up platforms. The Liquid Glass is a welcomed and modernized taste to the applications look and feel, but there are two features that would make the experience supreme. A locked folder and a duplication tab would provide a way to store the more sensitive items as well as delete those pesky duplicated files that the lesser experienced users may come across while integrating into the Synology ecosystem.
Other than this the performance is good and again, a great way to take hold of your privacy.
Thanks Synology

Love having all my photos stored locally on NAS
I really like the app and haven’t seen major issues until just recently. I guess the problem has started occurring after an update last week - I’m unable to use “delete” button on a photo, it just does nothing. I’ve been using it for removing photos from both my NAS and my iPhone. This is a blocker since there’s no real workaround for that. Can someone look into it and fix the issue? I’m happy to help with reproduction steps.

Great app but lacks full resolution view
Seems like when it retrieves, especially when we have big files from DSLR etc they are not full resolution. It would be neat to see those images at full resolution if possible
Feature Request: Add Hide & Lock Photos in Synology Photos
Synology Photos is an excellent application with a clean interface, powerful backup capabilities, and great AI-powered organization. However, one very important feature is still missing: the ability to hide and lock private photos and videos.
Many users store personal and sensitive memories on their NAS. Without a built-in Hide & Lock option, private content remains visible in the main timeline and albums unless it is moved to a separate folder, which is not a convenient solution.
I strongly recommend adding the following features in a future update:
* A Hide option to remove selected photos and videos from the main timeline.
* A Locked/Private Album protected by a PIN, password, or biometric authentication.
* The ability to quickly unhide items after authentication.
* Support for these features across both the mobile app and web interface.
This functionality is already available in many modern photo applications, and it has become an essential privacy feature. Adding it would significantly improve the user experience and make Synology Photos a more complete and secure photo management solution.
I hope the Synology team considers this feature in an upcoming update. It would be a valuable improvement for users who care about both privacy and convenience.
