Re: Photos from Cam to NAS?

I was thinking about the same thing and I also have a Synology NAS, I wish DS Photo was able to connect to the camera but it's not.
The reason I was thinking about this is to back up my photos in the field. For example if I'm away from home on a Trip in Peru for 3 weeks, I would want to back up those pics ASAP. Other than that particular application I don't see the point vs doing it through the computer.
One way to back up on the field is a portable photo drive but that's one more thing to carry and it's not cheap, can lose it, get stolen etc, however it works where there is no wifi.
I have not tried it yet but if DS photo is able to detect a USB folder on the phone, then we can use a USB stick that takes SD cards, that costs like $7 on Amazon. From there, assuming DS Photo can see that folder, you could upload your photos with DS photo and a wifi connection (or cellular). If DS Photo does not detect the USB stick, the last option would be to upload the photos to the phone, then send them to the NAS with DS Photo. The same would work uploading them to a Cloud storage directly
