Now:
- Set the validity period
- Copy the link to email it to them
- Send them a custom message
- Enable password protection
This is what they will see when they navigate to the link you sent them:
And you are done!!
Do you want to delete the link?

Hi, I just found your blog after having my NAS for a short while now. 🙂 I am an intermediate PC user however I might have loads of questions.
This article is useful to allow people to upload to a specified folder, however, my question is, will these people (or any of them) have access to this folder too? (after uploading to it)
Or do I have to control that with general folder access rules?
Example: I make a ‘public’ folder. I share it with someone to upload whatever to it. If I don’t want this to be accessable to everyone, do I just setup guest or user rights?

Exactly, you just specify who has access to that folder,

Thanks so much for posting this! I was trying to figure out how best to get a bunch of people to upload files to a specific location (esp. if not all are Google users) and came across this! Glad to know my synology has alternative uses.
