File Sharing on Synology NAS

After you have signed up and registered your Synology login account, you can share files. Here’s the process:

Method 1: Set Up QuickConnect

The very first step is to set up QuickConnect. You can do it using the steps given below:

• Open Control Panel.
• Select QuickConnect. If using DSM 7.0 and above, go to Control Panel > External Access > QuickConnect.
• Select the checkbox Enable QuickConnect to enable it.
• Click on Log in to or register a Synology Account.
• Insert the Synology login details in the fields.
• In case you do not have a Synology account, then enter the required information and click OK to create account.
• Now, create a QuickConnect ID and click Apply.

You will find your Synology QuickConnect link information displayed on the screen in a shaded box. These links can be used to access Synology NAS.

• Click on Advanced Settings.
• Select Permission. See that File Sharing is enabled.
• Go to File Station, right-click on the file or folder that you wish to share. Select Share. You will have a shareable link on the pop-up window.

Create a File Request Link via QuickConnect

In case your device is in a restricted network, you won’t be able to set up port forwarding for direct connection. After setting up QuickConnect, you should follow these steps:

• Go to Control Panel > External Access > DDNS.
• See that the DDNS services are not enabled.
• Go to File Station.
• Right-click on the folder and select Create file request. This creates a link for requesting files. Others can now upload file to this folder.

Method 2: Create File Sharing Link Using DDNS

You can directly access Synology NAS via DDNS without QuickConnect server. You first need to set up port forwarding rules and apply for DDNS. After that, do this:

• Open Control Panel.
• To create a fixed URL for the file sharing link, click on External Access > Advanced.
• Type the full name of DDNS and customized DSM ports.
• Go to File Station, right-click on the folder to be shared.
• You will have a shareable link on the pop-up window.

Create a File Request Link via DDNS

If you want to allow other users to upload files without DSM accounts, you can create and send file requests via DDNS. After creating a fixed URL, do this:

• Go to File Station.
• Right-click on the folder and select Create file request.
