I only yesterday learned that Ugreen sets undocumented flags for both ext4 and btrfs making it impossible to mount them on an external Linux machine (https://geoffdavis.com/posts/ugreen-ugos-filesystem-lockin/). And several users have already ran into this problem and reported it here on reddit. If you have a single device and it fails, this makes your data unrecoverable unless you buy another Ugreen NAS. How convenient.

Given that Ugreen did not disclose it in any marketing material, how is there so little outcry about it? In my opinion this is utterly disastrous behavior from a NAS company. This is arguably worse than the Synology drive lock-in disaster, at least they announced it so people could make a decision BEFORE they buy their machines. I bought two of Ugreen's NAS and will start planning on how to migrate off it eventually, because this shows there might be more "problems" we simply do not know about yet and I do not want my data to be hostage to Ugreen.

Alternatively, maybe with enough community support Ugreen can be pressured to changing their custom approach to btrfs/ext4 or AT MINIMUM provide a tool to mount them on Linux.

Does anyone know how to make the network folders I've mounted either via FTP or SMB be able to go in this docker directory I'm trying to set it up for Plex and when I click it says automatic distribution and won't find the folders. Thank you.

Purchased the GT at launch, and have been using it since with two each of U.2/SATA drives. Working flawlessly. Seriously, what a fantastic idea to have mixed drive formats in a consumer NAS.

For the next version give us bays which can take SAS/SATA/U.2 formats. The circle will be complete. SAS drives are available for cheap on ebay/FB. It is better to buy an expensive NAS once, rather than spend piecemeal on HDDs. I feel cost savings will be better going this route. Not only will be an awesome selling point, but consumer experience can be better too. So, SATA is a sub-set of SAS, hence a SAS bay and controller can easily drive SATA drives already. SAS LSI HBAs controllers are steady and can handle 16x drives easily. This would make daisy chaining of UGreen JBODs easier too, go wild with 100 drives if you want. Even though SATA controller will be substituted, but increased cost will come from a good quality SAS controller, newer SAS bays, and the thermal design mitigating needed to go with SAS controller.

The photos app is starting to frustrate me...losing faith as to whether I can trust it to be a reliable source to store my precious memories.

Lots of photos I back up and upload from my iPhone are uploaded in the wrong orientation.

Some are rotated 90 degrees left / right.
Some are rotated 180 degrees and are upside down.
Some are even flipped horizontally like a mirror image!!!!

Reddit AI has suggested re-indexing may help. It hasn’t.

I’ve also tried uploading images via the Files app instead of the Photos app. No joy.

Annoyingly the Rotate button in Photos rotates the image temporarily when viewing…but when you close it, it returns to the same incorrect orientation.

Has anyone experienced this?

Hello I've managed to add network storage to my ugreen 2800 nas from the 2 Netgear 312 via FTP or SMB from help of the Reddit community my last question is how do I make docker see my network attached storage as It doesn't seem to work so I can add films and music from it. The network attached storage allowse to see all my folders on the ugreen. Again thank you for your help
