WineCountryGames Posted August 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2020 How can I share files with a friend outside my network without giving access permissions to the server? Is there a way to setup Quick Connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensmander Posted August 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2020 An alternative to QC would be the use of DynDNS services on your router and port forwarding (NAT) to DSM‘s https port. Within DSM‘s file station you have the option to share folders and files with different access rights. But you‘ll have to keep in mind some drawbacks which arise: - you expose your NAS to the internet - this requires additional security actions to be taken (DoS protection, account blocking, firewall protection, 2fa for admin accounts, etc.) - a valid Let‘s Encrypt certificate would be advisable too - for sharing files/folders within the file station you‘ll have to connect via the dyndns url (https://mydyndnsaddress.org:5001) or manually replace the address which is generated by the file station (for example: if your NAS‘ local IP is 192.168.1.1 then you‘ll have to replace the IP address in the generated URL with your dyndns address) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
