**You must own a Synology NAS to run this app, and be running the latest version of Cloud Station 3.2 on your DiskStation to get the full set of features**

**Due to the new design of Android 6.0, the path of the external SD card is changed upon Android system upgrade. Devices upgraded to Android 6.0 will lose the configurations of sync tasks whose local directory is in the external SD card. The data is intact, but the tasks will need to be re-created.**

**DS cloud does not yet allow you to sync a folder in the external SD card other than the DS cloud directory on devices running Android 4.4 and onward.**

**Files added from "My Files" app on Samsung smartphones running Android 6.x are unable to be synced by DS cloud due to the app's design. Please use third-party File Explorer apps to add files into DS cloud.**

DS cloud is the counterpart to Cloud Station for your Android device. It allows you to choose the folders on your DiskStation which you want to sync to your mobile device and make available for offline viewing. DS cloud also gives you total control over the sync criteria: for each folder, you can set the maximum file size as well as the type of files you wish to sync.
