Share File Links
With File Station, you can generate URLs for DiskStation files, which could be used by people without DSM user credentials to download the shared files.
To share file links:
- Select the files you want to share.
- Right-click one of the selected files or choose the Action menu, and then choose Share file links.
- In the window that appears, you can modify the following options:
- Validity period: Click this button to enable a validity period, which limits how long the link remains active. Links cannot be used once the validity period expires.
- Password: Click this button to enable and set up password protection. Users must enter the password in order to download files.
- Links are displayed in the text field (e.g. myfile.txt:https://gofile.me/1Pzu8/wdMsPzR0). You can share the links by copying the text or by pressing the Mail link to send the links using your computer's default email application.
- Click OK.
To manage shared links:
-
Choose Tools > Shared Links Manager.
-
Select the link you want to manage, and then click any of the following buttons:
-
Edit: Set the file's validity period and password. Click Save to finish.
-
Delete: Remove the file from shared links.
-
Share: Share the links by copying their text or by pressing the Mail link to mail the links using your computer's default mailing application.
-
Clear invalid links: For expired links or invalid links that link to non-existent files, click the button to remove all such links. Click OK to finish.
Note:
Each shared link could have any of the following status under the Status column of Shared Links Manager:
-
Valid: The shared link is working properly.
-
Expired: The shared link has passed its validity period.
-
Invalid: The shared file no longer exists, or you don't have enough privilege to access the file.
-
Not effective yet: The shared link has not passed its effective date and is therefore not activated yet.
