Synology like file sharing app?

I'm an ex-Synology user and so far love unraid. One thing I miss though is once in a while I'd need to send someone a file & I could generate a link to the folder or file & email the link, then they could download what they needed. You could set a password or an expiration time for the link too.

 

I don't want to open up access to my server, set up users, etc. I just want to be able to make the occasional file or folder available to someone via a web link. 

 

Is there a docker or anything on unpaid that does that?

Nextcloud will do exactly that as far as the weblink and expiration. However, it requires a little more work to set up if you want to randomly share files from the array. The external storage plugin in nextcloud is what you need if you want to pursue it.

Cool, I'll give that a shot. Thanks
