"spoiled with our phones" I get that feeling as well. I'm interested in the Synology app you're using. Looked on App Store but what I saw didn't look promising. Uploading to the NAS would be better than my present set up. What's the name of the app?

It's the one published by Synology, DS Photo.   There's an auto backup feature.  It works pretty well, but it seems like every month or so it stops syncing and I have to manually kick off a backup to get it started again.  Not sure if the login needs refreshing or what.  But it's pretty easy to use.  Not perfect, though.

Another way to do it is to have all your photos sync to one of the big cloud providers (iCloud, Amazon, Google, MS, etc) and then use the cloud sync features on the Synology to pull them down from the web to your NAS.

There's an idea.  I wonder if there is a way I could do that with the Canon.   Send them to a cloud provider via Canon Image Gateway and then sync them down to the NAS.   I'll have to see how slow that is for large sets of images and if there is a size limit.

You could use the device in the link to transfer your photos from the camera to the phone, which would then upload to the NAS, but I don't think that would be good because then you'd have to deal with the files on the phone... Probably best to just stick the SD card in your PC as you say. My workflow is to review RAW+JPG on FastRawViewer, then upload picks from SD card to Lightroom, which stores on NAS.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do now, but with different software
