Important Note
To enhance the browsing experience and ensure that other applications continue to run smoothly while BeeStation processes a large number of photos and videos, certain resource-intensive system tasks will be offloaded to computers and mobile devices starting with this version.
With this change, you will need to install Synology Image Assistant when uploading new HEIC photos via web browsers or SMB. Otherwise, these files may not display correctly in BeeFiles. Note that HEIC files uploaded or backed up through the BeeFiles mobile app will remain unaffected and will display as usual.
Synology Image Assistant generates smaller JPEG previews, making them viewable across browsers and devices. For more information, refer to this tutorial.
Synology Image Assistant consists of a browser extension and a desktop application, both of which need to be installed to operate on Windows and macOS systems.
Note: For Windows users, depending on your setup, you may need to update to Windows 11 version 22H2 or purchase the HEVC Video Extensions from Microsoft.
