Chapter 17: Communicate with Mobile Devices

As Internet access grows popular on mobile devices, Synology provides you with several creative alternatives to

communicate with your Synology DiskStation using iOS/Android devices or other mobile devices.

Use iOS and Android Apps

The 4 Apps designed by Synology are now available on Apple's App Store or Android’s Market, allowing you to

communicate with Synology DiskStation wherever Wi-Fi access is available. You can manage your DiskStation

files, music, photo and video albums, and even the surveillance videos on the go.

DS audio DS cam DS photo+ DS file

DS audio

DS audio allows you to access Audio Station with an iOS or Android device and listen to your favorite music on

the go. Besides, the remote controller feature allows you to control Audio Station's music playback when there is

a USB speaker attached to your DiskStation.

DS cam

DS cam allows users who own an iOS or Android device to live view their IP cameras, take snapshots, and view

recorded events from your Surveillance Station whenever a network connection is available.

DS photo+

DS photo+ allows you to access Photo Station with an iOS or Android device and share your precious moments

on the go. Download and save photos from Photo Station to your mobile device so you can enjoy the flashbacks

anytime anywhere. You can also use DS photo+ to upload snapshots or videos from your camera phone straight

to Photo Station. Besides, you and your friends can interact by leaving comments on any photos, adding more

fun to your photo sharing experiences.

DS file

DS file allows you to access and manage DiskStation files with iPhone running on iOS 4.2 or later.

Note: For more information about using those Apps, open any of them and tap Set tings > Document > Help.
