Can I use third-party applications on my Synology NAS?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you can use third-party applications on your Synology NAS. Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) offers a Package Center where you can easily download and install a wide range of third-party applications that suit your needs. These applications are developed by trusted sources and cover various categories like backup, multimedia, security, productivity, and more. Synology also encourages developers to create and publish their applications on the Synology Packages website, which assures compatibility, safety, and reliability. This flexibility allows you to tailor your Synology NAS to meet your specific requirements, expanding its capabilities beyond basic storage. Additionally, Synology regularly updates and maintains DSM and its packages, ensuring security patches and compatibility improvements are delivered to keep your NAS running smoothly with third-party applications.
