Comments on Synology Drive for Android

★★★★☆ Robin Dymond · Feb 26, 2026

It was a challenge to get set up for all the devices (Macbook and phones especially). Once the initial backup was completed it has been working well. Apple and Google actively make it hard to use local storage like a NAS. They want everyone to pay for their overpriced icloud and drive storage. Now all our photos (and everything else) are backed up to the NAS. Having a local backup definitely provides piece of mind.

★★★★☆ Tristan Feuerlein · Jul 8, 2026

Don't call it "drive". After installing it, I spent 10 minutes searching for the app in my phone. Finally found out... But "drive" is a very generic name. Google play call it "synology drive". At least call it DS Drive, to stay consistent with your other apps. Just a thought.

You need this app when using synology NAS to organize your drive folders.

I love Sync Tasks, I use that to sync Obsidian to Drive across Mac and Android

★★☆☆☆ Rob Davidson · Sep 12, 2026

I was hoping that synchronization between my Android smartphone and the Synology NAS would be fast, but I get a lot of errors, and I often have to wait a full day for files (like photos) to properly sync. I have upgraded my Wi-Fi network, so that is definitely not the issue.

Refuses to sync pictures or zip files properly. You thinking NAS app could upload photos without throwing a fit 🙄

★★☆☆☆ Sova Mind · Sep 9, 2026

The restrictions on nested sync folders and permissions lead to the need to make a bunch of sync jobs. This has created problems with sync between multiple devices and accounts. This client app should be able to back up th entire Android device without needing to make these tasks, similar to the photo backups.
