7. Open Synonlogy Photos in the browser, click the settings menu in the upper right corner, click “Rebuild Index”, and wait patiently;

7. Synology Photos’ instructions on heic files: You need to activate Synology’s Advanced Media Extensions suite (referred to as the “AME” suite) first, and then use the Synology Photos app in Apple iOS and MacOS systems to upload the heic files to Synology Photos, so that the thumbnails can be displayed normally.Thumbnails cannot be displayed when uploading using a computer or other apps..
