Install Qingzhou Files

Follow these steps to install beta 0.8.7. You do not need to disable your Mac’s security protections.

Beta notice: this build is not Developer ID signed or notarized by Apple. Choose to open it manually only if you trust its source and the file.

  1. Check your Mac first

    Open Apple menu → About This Mac. This build is for Apple M-series chips such as M1, M2, M3 or M4. Intel Macs are not supported. The app declares macOS 13 as its minimum, but compatibility across systems and models is still being verified.

  2. Download and copy to Applications

    Download and open the DMG. Drag “轻舟文件.app” to the Applications folder beside it. Wait for copying to finish, then launch Qingzhou Files from Applications.

  3. If macOS blocks the first launch

    First try launching Qingzhou Files once. If you see “unidentified developer” or “Apple cannot check it for malicious software,” dismiss the alert and keep the app. Then follow the path below.

    System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to Security → Open Anyway

    System Settings / Privacy & Security

    Qingzhou Files was blocked because its developer cannot be verified.

    Open AnywayIllustrated settings path, not a system screenshot

    Confirm the app name is Qingzhou Files (轻舟文件), authenticate if prompted, then choose Open. Later launches can usually open normally. Button names and locations may vary with macOS versions.

  4. Grant permissions only when needed

    Start with a test folder to try previewing, copying and renaming. The first use of Synology’s native management tools may require enabling Qingzhou Files in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. You do not need to enable every permission just to browse ordinary files.

Installation questions

Cannot find Open Anyway?

First try launching the app from Applications, then open Privacy & Security and scroll down. A managed company Mac may not allow an exception; contact your administrator or leave the app uninstalled.

Seeing “damaged” or “will damage your computer”?

Stop installing and do not disable security protections to force it to run. Download the installer again from this site and check its checksum. If the problem continues, email the alert screenshot and your macOS version.

How do I update an older version?

Quit Qingzhou Files, open the new DMG, then drag the app to Applications and choose Replace. macOS may ask you to confirm the first launch of the new version.

How can I check the installer?

A SHA-256 checksum file is provided alongside the download. Use a local SHA-256 tool to check that the download matches the release. A matching checksum does not replace Apple signing, notarization or security checks.
