Synology APP questions

SexyGreyFox · 8 Aug 2019 at 08:51

First of all because of advice on here I bought the DS218j with 8tb and I'm really happy with it.

Anyway, there are loads of Android APPs but which are the best when I'm away from the house?
The three main things I will look at will be Movies, Music & Pictures and I can see there are different APPs but is there one that does it all?

Any extra advice appreciated.

DS File let's you access all your docs, so no need for ds video, ds photos etc

Install Plex Media Server then use the plex client, it can handle movies, music, images

DS Video works great for me, can cast to the network connected TV

Since this thread started I've been to Scotland and Salzburg Austria, DS File worked a treat.

Recently bought a QNAP TVS-683 i3 and Plex works a treat for all this, and photos the latter of which I had no idea was a feature!
