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 download DS photo+ from Apple's App Store, Android Market, or Windows Marketplace to
browse photos and watch videos saved on your DiskStation with your iOS/Android devices or Windows Phone on
the go.
For more information about DS photo+, see "Chapter 21: Communicate with Mobile Devices".
This chapter provides a brief overview of Photo Station’s features. For more detailed instructions, please see
DSM Help, or go to the Settings page and click the Help tab in Photo Station.
