PhotoStructure

Whether you’re a professional photographer or amateur creator, Synology Photos comes with all the tools you need to manage your photos efficiently. Automated tools help you group, filter, organize, and share your content, while keeping your memories safe and secure. Browse your photos chronologically or according to folder structure. Switch any time you want. Filter photos by time and date, camera model, lens, and other parameters to instantly display results. Let each account manage its own photo storage or enable Shared Space to support collaboration. Label photos into different Synology Photos albums without duplicating underlying files. Browse automatically generated albums grouped using facial recognition, geolocation, tags, file types, and upload date. Good things are meant to be shared. Securely share photos with other users or anyone else while restricting file access. Create share links and let other users or outsiders view your photo albums easily in any web browser.

Photo gallery for self-hosted personal servers. You configure photoview to search for media directly from the file system. The media is then automatically organized based on the file structure, directories will become albums that are populated with the photos and videos found inside it. It will automatically rescan for new media and add it to keep it updated. This approach gives you the full control to organize your media how you want. Let it be using a file server like Samba or FTP, or even files from a Nextcloud instance. Multiple users can be configured, each with their own directory of photos and videos. Each user is configured with a username and password, to keep their media private. Albums and individual photos or videos can easily be shared by generating a public or password-protected link. When photos are analyzed for EXIF metadata, this information is displayed next to the photo.
