User reviews

They decided to make the user experience worse. If I want to share HEIC files with others through Synology Photos I have to make them go trhough stupid hoops to install things they don't want. This has singlehandledly made me decide to move away from Synology for my next NAS.


Has access to every page, and adds a div with the id "synofoto-browser-extension-loaded" to them. I know, a Synology NAS can be at any domain, but at least make it so the end-user can enter the domain names into the settings. Doing it this way is not great.
