What are users saying about DS file

W70%
by W####:

The app works but navigation is pretty slow and UI is really not something you'd expect from a basic app nowadays. The app keeps refreshing the current folder's content after the user deletes a file, which forces you to wait a few more seconds before you can look for another file. Couldn't it send the delete order in the background and simply remove the deleted file from the user's view? This would make file management much easier.

Search feature is unusable, slow and interrupts scrolling or filtering as search results trickle in, did anyone test search? Desperately needs PDF thumbnails for those who scan large sets of documents. Edit: background uploads have been fixed and appear to be reliable!

M70%
by M####:

Only able to access files from home, not remotely. Not even able to contact support or give feedback within the app. The progress bar spins forever.

U70%

Good app, works as it should. However I cannot save login credentials since I moved to Huawei. Use to work perfectly on my old Samsung. Plz advise.

by M####:

Image thumbnails still fail to load 90% of the time making it useless for me to use as a photographer when out on location.

Was ok but now starts crashing. Log in choose folder and then search and bam, it crashes. What gives. What's an alternative

M70%
by M####:

Won't log in... I guess you outsourced your mobile apps. Expected better from Synology. Also, why the hell do you need to be able to read my messages? Edit: 5 months, still no fix... This crApp is for an £800 NAS.

It works OK. Although when a duplicate file resides in a destination folder, and I am trying to batch copy, I am not giving the option to skip or skip all. Only option available is to rename, overwrite, or cancel. Clicking cancel stops the whole process.

Will only connect via wifi in the home network. Unable to connect it view files "on the go" as advertised.

Unable to watch video through DS file now it will cause error, but it was working before

It crashes very often when I'm trying to find some of the files in a search bar.

Been over 2 months and still... Latest release doesn't allow you to unzip rar/zip files. Worked great previously but now it just never extracts anything. Please fix and I'll change back to 5 stars. (When it works, it is a great app)

by W####:

Photo backup works, but only while that background service runs. It does not keep running, and it does not auto-start after reboot. It does start when this app starts, but that makes backup unreliable. This feature should be major to make perfect. Android 7, LG V10, T-Mobile

I have used this app for years and since the last couple updates, any time I create a folder, rename a folder or edit it in anyway, the app crashes. I used this previous to sort files and folders on my Synology. It is not unusable. Please Fix!

M70%
by M####:

Very slow, even accessing one photo file takes 30secs or more. Not necessarily issue with the so rather with the whole Synology system. Very slow access to folks, can never play videos off it.

O70%
by O####:

have many files with long file names and can't distinguish them because dsfile doesn't support such a view. filed a ticket to them but still see no progress no enhancements since very long, just small bugfixes

M70%
by M####:

App used to work great. For the last few weeks it has issues. Everytime I try to rename a file, or create a new folder, the app crashes. I have reinstalled but it still continues. Please fix ASAP!!!

M70%
by M####:

App used to work, now crashes when performing most actions. Should also be able to pick up where it left off when uploading files and for one reason or another it fails.

M70%
by M####:

Fails to upload movie files of >2GB. Frustrating since DS photo also fails for this leaving taking my sd card out as the only simple option for getting my videos backed up

I70%
by I####:

Why does Synology have 10 different apps for the various functionality that the DSM software offers? Please consolidate the apps into one cohesive management app - and actually add management functions.

M70%
by M####:

Ultra unstable, keeps crashing when renaming files or creating folders. Pixel XL on Oreo.

S70%
by S####:

Crashes on rename, actually does the rename but date is set to 1970

T70%
by T####:

Stop running in background all the time. There is no reason for this. I rather use ftp because of this.

M70%
by M####:

Much more versatile and functional than other DS apps (e.g. "Photos") - you really don't need anything more than this. Have no issues logging in and browsing but can't upload from SD card.

O70%
by O####:

Jpg images don't open and thumbnails don't show. It's not very good.

M70%
by M####:

Current version stopped displaying jpegs. Unclear why!

Somehow, these, DS apps keep getting worse and worse.
