I don't like all the cutesy apps for the #Synology #NAS. Particularly the way each app's storage is somehow separate from the others _and_ they aren't segregated by user.
I really want just a networked file system. I can store my grandchild photos under "/myname/Pictures" and put my documents and spreadsheets under "/myname/Documents"; my .oga, .ogg, and .flac files can go under "/myname/Music" ... with permissions.
Then if I wanted to use their audio streaming app, once I logged in, it would know where my collection is, and would play only my music. Naturally, there would be a "/public" with subdirs for Music, Documents, Photos, etc. The apps would give the choice of showing / playing /public files or not doing so.
The default upload / download / display / play would of course be private (user account only). With a checkbox, the user could upload files to subdirs of /public, and view / play / download files from subdirs of /public.
(NOTE: there is a filesystem exposed to my file browser [in my case, I'm using Krusader and SMB4K], but it does not show the files available to the apps.)

What I'm probably going to do is remove all or almost all of my files from the app space and just use the direct filesystem access area until I set up the #Odroid #HC-1.
I still need to help my mom and sister get more of their stuff uploaded to the #NAS anyway.
