The good news is that you don't have to repeat this process every time you connect. Once you connect, the server address is saved in Files in the Browsing section, where you only need to click to connect. You can use the connection to the home server on your iPhone or iPad to watch movies and videos, to view photos, or to gain access to various data.
this is an interesting guide.. for now I'm solving it on synology via the synology app, but it's nice that it can be done directly like this..
I solve it on the iMac via finder / connect
... well, of course, because you can connect from anywhere using the Syno app, but you have to have the server connect to the Internet set up on the Synology server, which in itself represents a certain small risk. But I also use it and it works well, even for backing up photos, documents and everything else.
I tried it when it first came out, but it was horribly slow and didn't work very well. I stayed with the synology app and it works as I need it to. I'm not interested in the external connection at all and I don't have it active. Rather, the app has functions that iOS natively it doesn't.
