In addition to its file sharing, backup and cloud synchronization capabilities, the DS620slim offers a number of multimedia features that home users should find useful. Using the Package Center, users can install applications like Plex Media Server that will allow them to stream videos, music and photos to devices throughout their homes.
If streaming isn't an option, Synology's Audio Station, Photo Station and Video Station apps give users the ability to access their music library, browse photos and watch videos through their web browser. When combined with Synology's QuickConnect service, this can be done from anywhere in the world.
Synology also offers a number of mobile apps for both the iOS and Android platforms. I installed DS file, DS photo and DS video on my Android phone and was impressed by the quality and ease of use of these apps. I was able to upload and access files stored on the NAS, manage my photos and even watch movies on my phone.
