Synology Photos

Do no update to ver 2.0 it’s complete rubbish. It will backup everything all over again, if you try to delete from personal space it’ll try and delete from your device as well.

Merci pour cette mise à jour, on respire enfin. Mais on reste loin des standards actuels…

Can we please support multiple accounts? Like switching between accounts without re-login. Also ability to Hide certain photos/albums/folders.

Need to be able to drag/drop to custom reorder albums and *folders*. Do this with a sort file which maintains the order on a permanent basis. Needs duplicate checking. Exact duplicates, and some kind of image analysis for % similarity. It's amazing how they can have albums created based on object recognition, but not have some basic organising features.

The app works quite well for storing photos and videos. As a photographer I mean issue with this app is that there is no editing facilities whatsoever if that timer to rotate the image. And what makes it worse is it if you edit the image before uploading to synergy photos and then you’ll be edit that same image you’re stuck with the original image uploaded in other words. No changes are made to the image uploaded in Synology Photos app. It’s quite frustrating as every other image app allows even basic edits. Come on Synology! When will you be fixing this problem? I Don’t want to be forced to stop using it and having to find another solution! Pleas give us a update and timeline on this..

Its great that it can back up iPhone photos to physical NAS drive and is able to transfer high res photos are in stored iCloud but that’s about it. The search function is poor, backing up is not only restricted to having the app open but you actually have to be in the app to have it continue backing up, always gets stuck on large files and constant disabling and enabling is required to get it to work. Won’t be canceling iCloud anytime soon which was the aim of purchasing a NAS. There is potential so hopefully it gets there in the future.

When you launch a new application you’d expect the new app should be at least of equal quality to the old one (Moments). This one screwed up all photo timelines, timestamp and etc. In hindsight, I regret of using the Synology app and put too much trust on the dev team. Too Naive of me!

I’m very happy with this app except it sometimes stalls when uploading a video and no amount of uninstalling or reinstalling will ever fix it. It blocks the entire queue and as a result becomes of no use. If that was fixed then 4/5.

I’m trying to backup my iPhone photos for the first time but the app keeps crashing. Disappointing to see day 1 of usage the app is unusable.

The app works really well for upload photos and videos automatically when on wifi etc. been using for about 6 months with no issues. First upload took like 2 days, but used that backup sleep mode so it was uploading at night. Tags, locations and grouping works well also. Great to show off my travel album without having content occupy space on my device!
