So some issues here
Since I don't use (old) DS cloud client platform (because Drive), I totally forgot that there is a DS cloud. Basic question is why use the DS cloud when is there Drive client smart app for Android?
So I tried to install it today to my Car system. And I was surprised - it so bad and I understand that DS cloud is an Smart app that will be terminated by DSM 7.0
Installed ver: 2.8.1 (from August 6th, 2019)
Car system based on Android 9.0
Some current experiences:
1. Installation of DS Cloud is easy (just to be sure = installation only)
2. first time I used "OMG" , when I tried to install also Bitwarden app (because I really don't like type 35+ characters to usr and psw fields). But last available Bitwarden ver. 2.3.1 has serious problem to connect my hosted Bitwarden.
Code:
Exception message: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
And when I asked Google about it I found, that this is not my problem for the BW Android app. Then I decided, that I have to use my fingers with more patience = a cost of my authentication paranoia.
3. Establishing a connection from DS Cloud into my Drive server
- from beginning it's easy and similar as for every Drive sessions (address, usr, psw, https, ...)
- patience with all the manual settings (usr & psw for 35+ characters in both fields)
- session established
- then DS Cloud ask me what remote (NAS side) folder I would like to Sync with this client side (two way sync or single, ...). No way to use different than HOME (HOME sub-folders OFC). Stone age (what a difference in Drive).
- then I tried to create Sync session at my Android device side. I used SD card - and I mistakenly confirmed that "YES". From this time All data from my SD card was uploaded into my NAS. OK. Then I open Setup task menu, and I updated option just for Uplodad sync (from SD card to NAS). Tested. Done
- so I decided to prepare right session from my Card monitoring Logs.
- then I stop and delete the previous session (entire SD card to NAS)
And here is a crazy miracle - when you close last opened session (delete), then DS Cloud for Android will log-out you from your NAS connection. Fully. There is just one way - edit your connection server, credentials again.
- just to be sure I tried it 3-times, be sure, that it wasn't an accident from my side. but it's FEATURE!! Just to be sure with my 35+ usr/psw characters
- 25th time I used "OMG" or more verbal expression when I tried use (+) button to add new folder to sync from Android device to NAS (in the DS Cloud session editor). Everytime when I touched the (+) button it just opened step to new Remote (NAS) folder session creation), no way to change or create new task.
I really like Drive. Seems to be - DS Cloud (in Android) is the past.
Maybe I'm wrong. Is there a mistake from my side?
