Review Summary

Users love NAS Download Manager for Synology as a time-saving and simple tool to manage downloads directly to their DiskStation. However, it lacks support for two-factor authentication, which is a significant drawback in today's security environment. The extension mandates HTTPS connections, leading to difficulties for users with local NAS setups or self-signed certificates, causing login failures or connection errors. Despite its utility, the extension has not been updated recently and was removed from the Chrome Web Store, limiting user support and access. Workarounds exist but are inconvenient or compromise security.

Pros

  • Saves a lot of time by allowing easy addition of downloads to Synology NAS via right-click.
  • Functions well behind a Cloudflare tunnel and with HTTPS connection if configured properly.
  • Simple and user-friendly interface appreciated by users.
  • Good integration for transferring download tasks to DiskStation.
  • Works best when two-factor authentication (2FA) is not enabled.

Cons

  • Does not support two-factor authentication, making it unusable for users with 2FA enabled on their NAS accounts.
  • Requires HTTPS connection only; can't use HTTP which is problematic for some local or self-signed certificate setups.
  • No recent updates; extension removed from Chrome Store causing concern among users.
  • Issues with login failures related to 'SID not found' or 'connection failed' errors.
  • HTTPS certificate errors cause problems, especially with invalid or self-signed certificates and Chrome's strict security enforcement.
