I Agree with you on Synology photos 1000%, it needs work. I've been leaving feedback on it for one option. That is, to add an indicator in personal space that lets you know if a photo is or is not included in an album!!!

I just got a new Synology NAS after using my own frankenstein storage solutions for the past decade or so. I appreciate all the tutorials, without them I would have been pretty lost trying to set up the things I was trying to do.

Hi Frank, another great video to help users get the most from their Synology. Personally my favourite app is Surveillance Station. I used to have a stand alone DVR and when I purchased my NAS was blown away by how powerful the Surveillance Station software is. Many thanks.

so much knowledge in a 10 min video. Learned a lot. thx

[TechMeOut]

Excellent video Frank! I totally approve of this app list. I use these applications almost daily. Hyper backup actually saved my behind more than once!

Holy cow! This is the first time I’ve seen the host’s face. I only recognize him by his voice. He’s much younger than I imagined him.

I am a newcomer to this and as I spend several months away from home I wanted access to all the stuff I have stored on my home PC. So your videos are very informative.

Cloud Sync and Photos is what I've been wanted to do for ages so thanks for going over it.

[hanswi]

From that moment on I ignored "for Business" this app is my most important Synology software! I've set up a weekly schedule with starting the backup by turning on my PCs - just simply carefree !!

I use Lightroom and backup to Synology. Edited photos are exported to Synology photos. Synology work well for my use case.

Great video, I use Synology Drive and Hyper mostly. Photos and Surveillance I use alot. All work pretty good for my needs.

I have a synology naz a few years now. I don't have those first 3 you mentioned, doesn't even have them in the package center

[QuikTechSolutions]

Great video Frank. Have to agree with your choices 100%.

Hello, thanks for the info! I am wondering on the photo editing capabilities for the NAS for filtering and brightness/contrast and photo collaging?

[horaceho]

I recently upgraded my Synology NAS to DSM 7.2.2, and now I’m facing some annoying issues. Videos encoded with HEVC, especially those recorded by cameras (e, g, Sony A7C2), used to play smoothly in Synology Photo, but after the upgrade, they either won't play or only the audio works.
I reported this to Synology, and they admitted it's their system”upgrade” problem but have no plans to fix it. They’re trying to cut costs by not paying for the video codec licenses.
As a consumer, I’m really disappointed because they promised video codec conversion when I bought this NAS. Now they’ve quietly removed this feature with the so-called upgrade, leaving us without a function we originally had.
Hoping you can bring attention to this issue and help us voice our dissatisfaction to Synology. Thanks!

What's the difference between Active Backup and Hyper Backup?

[dittmanngeocaching]

Thank You. You forgot to mention that with proper use of Synology You can spare a LOT of money. Thx - You helped me, really. Cheers
