Dear Synology, you guys should really be ashamed. Talk about tarnishing your brand and image.

Damian Bielawski2025年1月25日

Sorry but no. This is not acceptable Synology... stop treating people like a joke.

iHelper one2025年1月24日

Максимально неудобное расширение. 1) Сажает батарейку в 3 раза быстрее чем без него! и на телефоне то же 2) Нужен дополнительный софт и только для Windows и Mac и то не все версии 3) Зачем это унылое по когда тот же nextcloud / qnap / и др показывают все из коробки ! - не советую использовать ПО, не обновляйтесь на DSM 7.2.2 это уже мертвая ОС. Пора избавляться от тупиковых synology пока еще хоть что-то работает. Благо сейчас много хороших альтернатив. Раньше любил их потому что все работало из коробки, теперь сплошное разочарование! То кодек отключат что звука нет то теперь совсем выпили кодирование. Сами себя унизили, лентяи.

Next NAS won't be Synology

Shisheng Zhang2025年1月19日

还要本地解码，就不能NAS解码吗？零颗星

Jonathan Chew2025年1月13日

An absolute disappointment given that photo backup is the primary feature that many people use the NAS for, and this is what we paid for. All for marginal savings for Synology, the customers clearly aren't being prioritised.

Всё работает, просто после установки надо ещё одну прогу скачать

D Miller2025年1月10日

Outrageous. And doesn't work even after installing along with the Chrome extension as per the release notes. Synology - you are ALIENATING your previously LOYAL CUSTOMERS and are DAMAGING YOUR BRAND!

Christophe Marois2025年1月9日

Absolutely unacceptable

Browser extension that enables in-browser viewing of HEIC photos and HEVC videos by communicating with a local Synology desktop app to generate previews and compressed videos

Browsers natively cannot display HEIC/HEVC formats. This extension, paired with a desktop app, automatically generates browser-compatible previews and compressed versions when uploading or viewing media files on Synology NAS web interfaces.

User installs the Chrome extension and the companion Synology desktop app. When the user browses photos or uploads files in a Synology web interface, the content script detects media operations and communicates with the desktop app via native messaging. The desktop app generates browser-compatible previews/thumbnails for HEIC images and transcodes HEVC videos, which are then displayed in the browser.

Target users: Synology NAS users who browse photos/videos via Synology web applications / Users working with Apple-originated HEIC/HEVC media formats in browser-based NAS interfaces

Source code is heavily minified, making deep inspection of logic difficult
Cannot determine if the companion desktop app requires a Synology account/login
Cannot determine if the companion desktop app or Synology NAS service has paid tiers that affect extension functionality

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is a free utility that bridges the browser to a local Synology desktop app. The heuristic-detected 'upgrade' keyword refers to websocket protocol upgrade in bundled socket.io code, not paid upgrades. The 'purchase' hit is also in bundled/minified code without billing context. The 'pro' keyword matches in locale files are substrings of words like 'processador' (Portuguese) or 'processor', not a 'pro' plan. No payment platforms, subscription APIs, billing endpoints, or upgrade UI were found in the source. The extension does not gate any features behind payment.

Confidence: 90
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension itself does not implement any login UI, authentication flow, or account system. The only permissions are 'storage' and 'nativeMessaging' — no 'identity' permission. The extension communicates with a local Synology desktop app via native messaging, and its popup simply shows connection detection status (whether the desktop client is installed/running). The 'auth' keyword hits in source are from bundled socket.io library code (websocket protocol internals), not authentication UI.
