How to Share Files on a Synology NAS

1. Login to your Synology NAS at https://[yourdomain].quickconnect.to and open File Station.

2. Navigate to the folder that is holding your file or folder, right-click it and select Share.

3. A Shared Links section will appear that will have the DDNS hostname or gofile (QuickConnect) link. If you’re using a reverse proxy, you will have to change this URL to match your domain name (remove DDNS hostname+port and add your domain name).

4. Enable Secure Sharing and set a password or DSM user account that will be needed to access this file or folder.

5. Select Validity period and change the start time, stop time, or total number of times a user can access this data.

6. Select Save and your link will be copied to your clipboard.

Link Navigation - Share Files on your Synology NAS

Depending on the type of security you selected (user account or password), when the user navigates to the address, they will be prompted to enter the information.

When they log in, they will be allowed to download the file. If the data that was shared is a folder, they will have the ability to see and download everything inside of the folder.

Shared Links Manager - Share Files on your Synology NAS

If you’re sharing multiple files and folders, you need to be able to track them somehow. In File Station, select Tools, then Shared Links Manager. You will then be able to manage all of your links!
