DSM compatibility
Swads is developed and tested primarily with DSM 7 APIs. DSM 3 through DSM 6 have not been fully tested, so sign-in or Download Station features may behave differently. Test the workflows you need before relying on Swads with an older DSM version.
Remote access also depends on QuickConnect availability, router and firewall rules, DSM ports, HTTPS certificates, DNS, and your current network.
Required NAS setup
- Install and enable Download Station from DSM Package Center.
- Give the DSM account permission to use Download Station.
- Choose either a QuickConnect ID or a reachable direct address.
- If sign-in or tasks fail, follow the DSM login and permissions guide.
