Can anyone recommend or help me what I can do with the following I have been asked to look into:
I am new to NAS drive technology (Thought I have been using an outdated D-Link NAS Drive (but only as backup storage and not on a network when it's not used) so probably looking into the wrong thing altogether - unless someone can put me in the right direction or guide me what I have to do?
I am wanting to send some files to someone using a shared folder (NAS drive??) (It can't be email / Google Drive / WeTransfer / Dropbox etc due to limitations on security policies. I have been told I can give a website address to whitelist which is why I am looking into NAS drive as an alternative.
The NAS drive will have a dedicated external IP address so that the device is visible to the outside world.
I have been looking into various NAS drives and noticed that various ones have a web interface that is ideal what I require - (i.e I set up a user with a username and password, a shared folder and they only see their own folder)
I have been watching various YouTube videos on this but this all covers when the device is on the internal network so a secure page warning shown in the address bar can be ignored at this stage.
I am wanting to know if it's possible to have a NAS drive with a log in screen and it use the https connection?
I don't have a domain name and wondered if a SSL certificate can be obtained another way (free or is there a charge or does it come with the NAS drive software?)
End of the day I want to share a folder with someone (say 10 different users with their own folders) on a NAS drive, they log in via a web page to the device (which has to be https) and they download the required files from their own folder I will setup etc) and then log out?
Can this be achieved or possible?
