2025-01-08 | John | Really disappointed by Synology! | |
2025-01-06 | wolfangaukang | So cool they decided to do this to us and not even give support to Linux users for the desktop app. Seriously considering another option after this. | |

2024-12-11 | th2000125 | Synology must reverse this decision. | |
2024-12-08 | paradeiser | Thats a deal-breaker. Ripping vital functions from DSM and forcing end-users (not just admins) to install extra software (Browser plug-in PLUS desktop software!) is a real breach of trust! | |
2024-11-25 | Firefox user 18701088 | Eine Frechheit, was sich Synology mit dem Update auf 7.2.2 geleistet hat. Funktionen auf dem Server wegnehmen und dann nur halbherzig auf die Clients verlagen. Linux User bleiben jedenfalls hier außen vor | |
2024-11-18 | Firefox user 14053296 | 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. | |
