Sharing a Media Server/Client Portal? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020 Hello. I'm trying to get the best use out of my Synology NAS. I am a videographer that needs to share videos with clients, and I would like to be able to share a link not only to download but to play a video through their browers. Simply sharing the videos files or folders is easy, but is there a way or an application within QuickConnect that acts like a "web portal" of some sort that I can send them, they can log in, download their video or just click play and view it in their browser? There is a similar service to this offered by MediaZilla, but I would rather not pay for that since I already have a Synology NAS, I figured there would be some way to set something similar up. https://mediazilla.com/ I've tried the Video Station app, and it kind of works, but it's not quite exactly what I'm looking for. You can share a video and play it in your browser, but it's lacking the download feature and you can only share 1 video at a time instead of sharing a folder. Hopefully that makes sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Sharing a Media Server/Client Portal? - ed - 02-16-2021 Yes, you can only use Video Station to share and play the files. You can share a folder with an option to download and not play.If you want both options, you will need to create a user with limited access to video files. This way they can log into a Synology and then play/download those files.I hope this helps. |
