Comments on Synology Photos for Android

★★★★☆ stephen hollibone · Oct 30, 2026

After the recent samsung update the app is now broken and won't backup anything. Now app slows down the phone heaps and can't back up any photos now, I hope there is an update soon as this app was great before Samsung updated the phone and broke it.

★★★★★ Stoyan Ivanov · Aug 10, 2026

It works great apart from the abysmal "Preparing" hanging on videos especially larger ones. It is unacceptable to not be able to consistently back up your photos and videos to your NAS because they are stuck. I have to restart the app many times until it finally passes. And large files are worse because it can decide to hang at any point. Please drop this Preparing phase and just upload the files... edit Aug 2026: Synology has finally pushed a new version that handles backups better!

★★★★☆ Clemens · Jun 6, 2026

The app is working great including backups and sharing. Though I'd like to have the option to manually tag people/faces in pictures in the app. Currently, that only works in the browser.

What Synology have done to this app? It's not been working for a couple of months now. It's stopped uploading images - it'll get so far then say connection to the internet has been lost (er, no, it hasn't). But worse, the app doesn't seem to have an upload resume feature and so it starts uploading files from scratch each time you go into the queue rather than resuming from where you were before it "lost" internet connection (which would at least mean you could get stuff uploaded in chunks)

★☆☆☆☆ Parker Cannon · Jul 12, 2026

Completely useless app. I keep trying to upload my photos but the app keeps asking me for my 2fa tokens even after I enter them in. I cannot upload a single photo or video to my synology Nas. The desktop solution does not even show me my photos when I am directly on my nas. So now I feel like I completely wasted my money on a nas. Please fix this issue if at all possible. Thanks

★☆☆☆☆ Alexander Stepanishchev · Oct 18, 2026

This good app, but right now I faced always this app is crashed during photos backup. This is the main goal for this app and cannot handle it. So sad...
