File Sharing

File Browser on DSM provides easy file navigation on your Desktop, allowing you to move or copy files without boundaries.

Easy as 1-2-3

Extend your Windows or Mac experience on File Browser without learning curve. File Browser is launched in individual windows under the same web browser. You can easily copy, move, delete, rename, upload or download files from DiskStation with the help of File Browser. Nothing is out of the ordinary, everything is expected.

Drap-n-Drop File Transfer on Web Browser

The easiest way to move a file is to drag it from one window to another. While this was originally enjoyed on your computer’s operating system, now find it on the Synology DiskStation Manager.

By launching File Browser in multiple windows, you can manage all your data stored on DiskStation by dragging and dropping your favorite music, movies, photos, or work projects between File Browser windows, eliminating time spent on repeating the tedious upload process.

Search with Advanced Precision

The advanced search tool is now available to offer numerous options, which helps to make your search more precise. Type in keywords, updated time, or file owner to narrow down the search and there you have the results within seconds.

While you may think filtering through a large pool of data takes a long time. File Browser can prove otherwise. It significantly reduces the search time by performing database index to file names. A well-organized file name index is like a list in the back of a book, which greatly improves data retrieval speed and helps users find the result they want more quickly.

Watch the Scene and Motion

While the increased storage space is a good thing for you to store more files, sometimes finding the exact one you are looking for can be a tiresome task. The embedded Photo Viewer and Video Player will help you to directly preview your digital content in the DiskStation Manager, helping to locate a file you need within a very short time.

You can right click on the picture and preview your photo by Photo Viewer. Moreover, you can browse pictures, rotate and delete pictures, and examine EXIF and XMP information of a picture. You are able to start a slide show in the Photo Viewer as well. In addition, the photo slideshow would automatically play the photos that are placed within the same folder, so it becomes quite convenient to organize your photo folders.

The embedded Video Player in the File Browser is just like any other video player. For previewing video clips, you can right click on the video and preview it in the Video Player if you have VLC player installed on your computer. Video Player also supports embedded and external subtitle¹.

Access Your Cloud Files with Google Docs

Without installing office software to open your documents on your DiskStation, now you can preview the documents on your DiskStation by Google docs service. All files formats supported by Google docs can now be opened for preview in your web browser, including Adobe PDF, PowerPoint, Word, Excel and many of the formats that you would encounter daily.
