Description

Please Note: This is a third-party app foryour DiskStation and is not created from Synology.

DS Uploader is a separate upload utility for Synology DiskStationowners that makes it possible to easily and quickly upload files tothe disk station or queue them for later upload on a WifIconnection.

It has two main modes.

Separate File Upload
Files can be uploaded to the DiskStation by sharing them with theapplication. Simply select files or text data and choose the "sharewith" option of the respective app. When you choose DS Uploader youcan choose a folder on one of your shares on DiskStation. You caneven present a standard folder to always upload your files to thesame directory.

File uploads will only occur in case there is a WiFi connectionestablished. In other cases DS Uploader will remember the files tobe uploaded and upload them once a WiFi conenction has beenestablished.

Automatic Media Upload
In case you select a path for automatic media upload in thesettings screen. DS Uploader will watch your media library foradditions and automatically upload these files to the specifiedfolder. This makes it easy to keep the pictures taken in sync withyour device.
This service will only run in case you select a directory in theconfig screen. Otherwise DS Uploader will have no backgroundservices running.

Requested Permissions and why they are needed:
- Internet: DS Uploader needs this to connect to the network andyour DiskStation.
- Network State: DS Uploader needs this to know whether you areconnceted to a WiFi or not.
- Read Storage: DS Uploader needs this to access files on yourstorage system that you want to get uploaded.
- Write External Storage (on devices prior to Android 4.3): Whenyou upload files from data streams to your server it is notguaranteed that this data will still be there when we try to laterupload it to your DiskStation. Therefore we create a local copy ofthe file in a cache folder on your SD card (deleting it once it hasbeen uploaded). Writing to this cache needs a permission to writeto your SD card on devices prior to Android 4.3. We don't writeanywhere else on your SD card.
- Boot Completed: To restart the media checking service in thebackground once the device is restarted this is needed.
- In-App Purchase: If you use the app very frequently we willdisplay a small nag screen prior to frequent uploads and ask you tosupport the app development by buying DS Uploader for a smallamount. You can always chose to ignore the nag screen and the appwill still work fully. Thank you for your help!
