Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run DS file, an app by Synology Inc., best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

So, DS file is basically like a remote control for all the files you keep on your Synology NAS. If you’ve got your NAS up and running at home, this app lets you poke around in your folders from anywhere. You can browse, move, rename, and even snag stuff from your NAS to your device, or toss things back up—photos, music, whatever you need. It keeps everything locked down with HTTPS, so poking around your files feels safe, too. One thing that stands out is how quickly you can pull up photos or stream videos right from your storage, even if you’re nowhere near your actual drive.

Using DS file on a PC with BlueStacks actually makes looking through files a lot more comfortable, since you get the bigger screen and desktop controls without being stuck on your phone. It’s more than just a file manager, though—it’s handy for going over work documents, sharing files with friends, or even just making sure you’ve got access to things you need while you’re out. The only catch is, you do need a Synology NAS running the right software, so it’s pretty much built for people who already use their own NAS at home. If managing files and accessing stuff remotely is something you do a lot, this app really makes it smooth and simple.

BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
