You'll need to get the Pro version to upload full-size photos and videos, but the PhotoSync Add-On for Android (opens in new tab) is a one-time payment of $4, and PhotoSync Pro on iOS (opens in new tab) is just $3. If you'd rather use an external service to transfer photos and videos to the NAS en masse, a better alternative is PhotoSync. There's also Synology Drive that lets you sync folders between your phone and NAS without any hassle. This utility is essentially a file manager that lets you see all the folders on your NAS and easily upload data from your phone to the NAS. I use Photos to back up full-res photos from all my phones and turn to Google Photos for high-quality uploads.Дo you need a basic solution to upload files and folders to your NAS manually? Then you'll want to use DS File. It also leverages face recognition to sort images automatically and creates albums. If you're looking at a NAS as a Google Photos alternative, Synology Photos is the obvious choice. Once you log in, you can set it up so that the service automatically uploads photos and videos from your phone to your NAS.

You should install the Photos package on your NAS first and set up the app on your phone - it's available for Android and iOS. If you just need to back up all the photos and videos on your phone, you'll want to use Synology Photos - the latest addition in DSM 7.0. If you want to back up your phone, there are a few options available. Synology makes it as easy as possible to back up your Windows and macOS computers. Similarly, with macOS, you can use Time Machine with your NAS to back up data automatically. You can then set up two-way sync to save changes between your machine and the NAS, or just select folders that you want to be uploaded to the NAS and set an interval for backing up data.ДЄlternatively, using Windows 10's built-in File History feature, you can point that backup to your enclosure and have the data stored on your NAS. Just install Synology Drive Server on the NAS, and download the client service on your Windows and macOS machines. Synology makes it as easy as possible to back up data from all devices. Unfortunately, the error message generated doesn't really tell you where to start looking.Source: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central (Image credit: Source: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central) With all that said, the issue seems to be associated with the 'more secure environment' created with DSM 7. I have reversed the regedit change & it is now back to where it was prior to the change. To say I'm a little disappointed with DSM 7 would be an understatement.

I intentionally delayed upgrading to DSM 7 to allow time for the upgrade to settle down. Unfortunately, these are production PC's/NAS devices with established processes & users that are accustomed to accomplishing tasks in certain ways. What was once an easy task, has now become an exercise in WTF is going on?

Both the NAS & the PC were rebooted, but, still did not work.Д¬oincidentally, we use WebDrive as a tool in mapping drives on the NAS devices & they too have ceased to function with DSM 7. The fix they provided involved changing some of the SMB settings in File Services within the Control Panel. I did talk to Synology support yesterday & mapping the drives via Synology Assistant has been an issue. Gerard, I have no problem mapping the drives via Windows as you described from any of the PC's. Thanks for all your suggestions and comments. In any event, I can now map a drive on my laptop to either of my Synology systems running DMS 7.

My son then edited the registry on my laptop, basically (as I understand it) enabling Windows 10 to accept NTLMv2. Anyway, when DMS 7 rejected my NTLMv1 request, my laptop running Windows 10 just gave up trying to connect. It seems that my laptop wanted to use NTLMv1 and DMS 7 will not accept it.

' As I understand it, NTLMv1 is a security protocol used when two computers are connecting to each other. He logged onto my laptop, did some fiddling, and discovered the following log error: 'User xxx from yyy failed to log in via do to. Last night I explained the problem to him. My son is a network security guru for a very large hospital system. Finally found the solution to the problem (actually my son found the solution.) Turns out it was an issue with my Lenovo P52, Windows 10, and Synology DMS 7.
