Synology's Disk Station Manager, or DSM for short, is the operating system for NAS systems from Synology. DSM is known for being very user-friendly, with a desktop that looks like Windows and has the option to open multiple apps at once.
DSM has many built-in apps, such as File Station which you can use to manage your shared folders, Download Station for downloading files from all kinds of sources, Video Station for viewing movies and videos, Photos for managing your photos, Web Station for hosting your websites and much more. You can install and update the packages yourself via the Package Center.
Make sure you keep Synology DSM up to date, since regularly important security updates are released.
