Sharing a Media Server/Client Portal?

#1
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.

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!

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.
