App works okay to upload pictures. Interface is it very user friendly. Must do steps in exactly the right order. Once you click upload you cannot create a new album. Albums must exist prior to starting upload procedure. This isn't how most save as style dialog boxes work. bigger issue is that pictures on my phone are not sorted in the albums I have. I have thousands of pictures which are sorted. The only way this app sorts them in the upload window is by time. Takes me forever to pic my photos.

Has to load list of available folder/album names every time. Surely this could be cached so the mobile app only needs to look for changes. Takes ages even over WiFi. This is all before it tries to load any photos. Can't upload from within the appropriate add photos to an album. Slow slow slow! Interface v poor and needs work. I'll just use the web interface!

Unreliable. I use this to backup photos from my phone to my NAS. Whilst away from home, wifi off, nothing for the app to do, it consumes prodigious amounts of battery - doing what? When I return home, wifi connected, the app might - or might not - start to back up my photos. Often it does sweet nothing and I have to open the app and press 'backup' in the menu before it decides to start. Edit: unable to handle heic format photos, so now totally useless. Try login >"The service is disabled now"!?!

I keep having errors about self signed certificates, which isn't true... One missing feature would be to upload/backup photos only while the device is charging. That would allow my device to be more energy efficient, to wake up my NAS less often and batch upload without hassle. Additionally, whenever I make images & videos available offline by downloading via DS Files, DS photo reuploads the copies as separate files... backing up my backup copies...

Poor app. Keeps asking for security certificates accept or accept for 24hrs . Sometimes it works when you accept for 24hrs. Has never worked properly and I usual wind up using just the file manager to view photos and videos. At least it allow me in. Generally I find Synology apps to confusing and to many to choose the right one for the task. I think you need to trim down all the apps and try and get a couple to actually work correctly !!! The drive is great just let down by poor executed apps.

Incredibly frustrating app. It is taking me two minutes to log in remotely (DDNS or QuickConnect) even with a good 4G connection (40 Mbps or faster). Sometimes it fails to login completely. The thumbnail cache seems to be deleted everytime I log in, meaning I have to wait minutes for album preview photos and album thumbnails to download. Doesn't have the "remember me" option for login credentials that other DS apps have (even though the iPhone version does have this). Long overdue for an update!
