Share File Links

Files or folders stored on your DiskStation can be shared quickly and easily. Simply right-click a file or folder and select Share file links. This generates a link and QR code, which can be sent to friends or other users. They can follow the link to download the selected file or folder, whether or not they possess a DSM account.

2. Right-click one of the selected files or folders or click the Action menu. Then choose Share file links.

   • Validity period: You can customize valid access periods and access times for shared links.
     • Customize validity period: You can determine how long a shared link will remain active after creation. The link will turn invalid once it passes the specified period.
     • Customize valid access times: You can determine how many times a shared link can be accessed. The link will turn invalid once it passes the specified times.
   • Share with DSM users: You can share the link with DSM users or groups by selecting them from the drop-down list. Please note that you cannot share with the guest account and users group.
