I was\/am not alone with this problem; several users describe the same issue on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.synology-forum.de\/showthread.html?49830-DS-File-(iPad-amp-iPhone)-funktioniert-nach-Update-nicht-mehr-(Zertifikat)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">synology-forum.de<\/a>. It may not actually be a bug at all. Previously, it was apparently possible to access File Station via a dynamic DNS address even if the HTTPS certificate had not been issued for that DynDNS address. This has now changed with the new version. In addition, the certificate created on the Synology must now also be imported onto the iOS device. That worked for me, and HTTPS access is working again. The following image gallery shows the individual steps.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of the fix, my DS213+ was running DSM 4.3-3827 and the iOS devices were running DS File 5.0-138.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped bwp-block-editor-popup-gallery wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michael-hoepfl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_0001.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2931\" src=\"https:\/\/michael-hoepfl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_0001.png\" alt=\"1.
