1 Sign in to Photo Station as DSM admin (or a user belonging to the administrators group if Photo Station's
account system is set as DSM accounts), and then go to Settings > General.
2 Tick Enable Personal Photo Station service and then click Save.
3 After Photo Station is enabled, users can edit the Photo Station settings, which are basically the same as
those of admin’s Photo Station.
Note:
Please log in to DSM as admin (or a user belonging to the administrators group), go to Main Menu > Control
Panel > User > User Home to activate user home service first before enabling Personal Photo Station service.
