Chapter 12: Share Photos, Videos, and Blogs with
Photo Station
Photo Station is an online photo album integrated with a blog for you to easily share photos, videos, and blog
over the Internet. It features Timeline on which photos and videos can be presented with Google Maps displaying
where they are taken. Face recognition allows you to have Photo Station find faces on photos for you. With this
experimental feature, you can take memorable notes to mark your precious moments by tagging photos with
people, places and descriptions. Moreover, you can also browse photos and watch videos saved on your
DiskStation with your iOS/Android devices or Windows Phone on the go.
This chapter explains how to install and enable Photo Station, set thumbnails and video settings, manage Photo
Station user accounts, create and manage albums and blogs, browse photos and videos with Timeline, manage
tags for photos, perform face recognition, and view and edit photos and videos.
