Let’s talk about the two most popular and straight forward ways to transfer your Google Photos and Google Drive data over to your NAS.

So there you go, the tools you can use on your Synology NAS to migrate your Google Photos into. With the sharing and home/business separation where needs in Personal and Shared pace options, all the AI-powered recognition you need and it even bring s few new tools into the mix (AI Tagging combined with intelligent album creation for example), it is more like Google Photos in it’s GUI, but has a few more business options in the background for sharing photo shoots and professional portfolios at your finger tips. Their latest firmware (in beta that time of writing, but with a full version coming soon) it combines the Photo Station and Synology Moments application into a single tool – Synology Photos. Synology Photos is a re-imagining of how a NAS handles your photos in Synology DSM 7.0.

Finding a much more user-friendly and simplified GUI, Synology Moments is the tool for users who are more interested in using their photos for personal use (though it does still support many sharing and classification options). It supports the usual photo album display, but then includes facial recognition, ‘thing’ recognition to identify the contents of photos and group them together, geo-tagging recognition and more. It lacks a few of the AI-powered features that are present in Synology Moments and Synology Photos, but it is still a remarkably popular application and recommended for those that take their photography seriously when moving from Google Photos to a Synology NAS.Īlthough not quite as established as Synology Photo Station, the Synology Moments application is considerably more familiar to those who use the Google Photos application on mobile device or via the web browser. This is quite a professional application with a tonne of configuration options for sharing, streaming, album creation and building a fantastic portfolio of your work.

The original Synology Photography app, used by both home and business users alike. So, let’s take a quick look at the tools on offer for photo storage on Synology NAS when moving away from Google Photos and Google Drive. However, two of them (Synology Photo Station and Synology Moments) are on DSM 6.2, whereas the latest application (Synology Photos) is in DSM 7, which is in beta and plans to combine both of the previous two apps into a single, multi-purpose tool. Technically there are THREE Synology applications for photography.
