Tech support is a complete joke
Stop begging for ratings
Don’t bother. You can browse directories and files but you CAN NOT OPEN FILES for viewing. Tech support will first tell you it’s a problem with iOS and then they’ll try to tell you it’s a problem with the files and finally they’ll tell you the only way to view a file is to download it and then open it. Complete crock of bs. If you recently bought your NAS - return it while you have time. It does not get better. Synology's tech support department is a complete joke.
Missing core features from 2015

Still does not natively integrate with files for drag and drop, does not support splitview nor slide over. These are core features for any file management app that Apple introduced over 4 years ago. Because of the lack of support for the basics, I’ve actually begun using OneDrive and iCloud Drive for storage because their apps always take advantage of the latest features within a reasonable timeframe. Final update 2020: This app (and most of their apps) seems to be neglected. As such, I sold my NAS and migrated to iCloud Drive. The whole “private cloud” idea is great, love the hardware and OS, but it’s just not usable in 2020 with abandoned mobile apps.
NO date specific backups

This app BIG time needs to be enhanced so that you can backup by date range!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is sad.

All Synology apps have a poor rating and this is sad to see. I’m giving it a one star because it doesn’t do a simple thing it was designed to do -backup. It just stops backing up randomly.
Works fine for me

I’ve been using this app a few years now, and it does what I need it to. When I open then app on my home WiFi, all recent photos download to my NAS. It will only download photos when the app is open, but I will usually be working on other files as it downloads in the background. I can view all my stored data, and export files. I can save articles on my phone, and depending on the app, I can either save directly to the drive, or save it on Dropbox and then transfer the file to the drive. With Word, I love that I can copy & paste an article from the web, save it on Dropbox, then open Dropbox and export it to the NAS, all within minutes. It is a simple app, and doesn’t have all the features you would get on a pc, but it’s very effective for remote access. My only gripe is that the photo upload will only work when I’m at home on my own WiFi network; it will not upload any photos on any other WiFi network. Why is that, and how can I configure my NAS to upload on any WiFi?

Since iOS 14 is updated synology apps are crashing in iPhone for unclear reason. Possibly apps may need to be updated for this new iOS version. Thanks
