User Reviews

DS file offers fast transfers and convenient NAS access with ongoing updates. However, reliability is a major issue: users report crashes, login/connection problems, and recurring Error 119, plus downloads/uploads stalling. Media UX is lacking (no video thumbnails) and search is weak. Overall, it shows potential and speed but suffers from stability and usability frustrations that hinder daily use.

Pros

Very fast transfer speeds and overall performance
Convenient access to files on the Synology NAS via DS file
Active maintenance and updates that users appreciate

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues
Login/connection problems across devices
Repeated error 119 during operations
Downloads/uploads frequently fail or stall
Missing media previews (no video thumbnails) and weak media navigation (basic search)

Recent reviews

Works as intended but the experience is not great. Can't create any text files or duplicate them. No way to add file paths as favorites even though there is a favorite tab. The UI/UX design is just really bad and needs a rework.
