So close!

By benjaminchodroff (Pcmac user)

I LOVE the concept here - but how come I can’t *download* my files (like a mkv movie?) to my iPhone?! Three stars because it works beautifully for some files like pictures, but minus one star for no downloads and another star lost because some directories it will claim have no files even though they definitely do (cache/database/Timeout issue??). I also have a “certificate is invalid issue” when trying to play music - even though I am using the the app quick connect. How do I get a valid cert configured?
Their good app run on DSM mobile and desktop OSes they aremissing.

By vitaprimo.us (Pcmac user)

I was dreaming to get this app before so if I could get rid of the resource-murdering Resilio Sync, but when I first downloaded a beta version of DSM that had it I felt it was exactly the same issues DS Cloud had/has with a plastic-ier look. It still keeps pushing to connect instead using QuickConnectID even using a certificate-validated-FQDN in the local network. If you do this so it stops bugging then it’d complain of the cert not matching the SLDN or whatever QuickConnnectID represents in the unit. My biggest issue overall though, is that it constantly disconnects and you had to relink as if it was synced for the first time; this could very easily cause corrupt data somewhere. You could use as an alternative some other thing self-hosted, like Nextcloud and leverage the excellent storage backplane your unit does have and, leverage the second-to-none customer support the app has. I think it has surpassed Apple’s own now.  if you’re listening, doubt it, get your *stuff* together already. Your OSes have more #UAC that Vista now, something you made fun of, they aren’t fluid anymore.
Needs iPad Support

By b1r9a9n9 (Pcmac user)

The app functions alright, but I find that it doesn’t work well with other apps (it prefers to show you the document) but it also doesn’t support split screen on the iPad Pro . This pretty much makes it useless for doing any kind of multitasking. For me this is a huge inconvenience and I’m being kind giving it 3 stars. Underwhelming. the app, please spend more time developing your utility apps.
Feature Request - Cloud Station

By WMDad (Pcmac user)

Cloud Station has met my needs well for years. My NAS is not accessible from the Internet for security reasons, which is why Cloud Station has worked so well for me. It synchronizes 200+ folders and almost 2,000 files to my mobile devices. Feature Request 1: Add the ability to flag ENTIRE directory trees (entire CloudStation directory tree) for offline access. I do not want to have to do this for EACH of my 2,000 files, which is how the Drive app is currently. Feature Request 2: Add the ability to search PDF files for text like the second to last Cloud Station app. The current Cloud Station app removed the search function, so now I am severely handicapped. Give me those two features and I will rate Drive with FIVE stars. Thank you.
