DSM Access

DSM’s web admin was never built with VoiceOver in mind. DSM Access replaces it with a native macOS app: every screen labeled, ordered, and announced, with focus where you expect to find it. The NAS is the same one. What changes is the way in.

Features

• Signing in, and that is it. A direct address or QuickConnect, over HTTPS by default. A self-signed certificate asks you to approve its fingerprint outright. Two-factor authentication is handled when DSM calls for it, and passwordless sign-in is approved from Synology Secure SignIn.
• Your files, the way the Mac does them. All of File Station: browse, upload, download — a folder comes down as a ZIP — create, rename, delete, copy, move, compress, extract, and share by link with a password and an expiry date. The long jobs, the ones the NAS runs itself, report their progress.
• The Finder talks to the NAS. Files copied in the Finder paste straight into a NAS folder.
• The state of the machine, at a glance. Model, DSM version, memory, uptime, temperature. Volumes and disks with their health, temperature, and capacity, plus storage pools and RAID. And a live resource monitor: CPU, memory, network.
• Administration, all of it. Shared folders, file services, packages, users and groups with their permissions. Network settings, server identity, DSM updates. System log, flagged sign-ins, block list, logging settings.
• Your containers included. Container Manager holds containers, Compose projects, images, networks, and the log: start, stop, restart, rebuild a project, update or delete an image — all of it in sortable tables.
• And the Synology apps. Download Station, USB Copy, Virtual Machine Manager, and Surveillance Station.
• Installed, then forgotten. Notarized by Apple, it opens with no Gatekeeper warning, then updates itself through Sparkle on either the stable or the beta channel. English and French. No telemetry, no ads.
