Giving Access to Other People

[Zaraspook]

Hi all, I know this is prolly a really basic question, but if I wanted to give someone access to my music on my TS-251, and wanted them to be able to play it from a home PC (not a mobile device), what would be the best way?

I've made them a User and have given permission for the folder. Is using MyQNAPCloud and use Music Station the only real way? Is there a way to let them play content with something like MusicBee or itunes? Or, would they have to use Music Station only?

Thanks!

The only secure way to share any data outside of your private network is to first deploy a remote access VPN solution for the person. After that you can worry about how and with what player to listen to the music.

NASes with services open to the internet will eventually become malware infected, as so many Qnaps have been over the years. Don't fall into the same trap!

for access rights depends.

some people feel comfortable doing guest access ( i don't). and others create accounts and then allocate share permissions they are allowed access to.

for lan theyll be able to connect. for remote, setup vpn.

You could install PLEX on your NAS, and since you arent going to do any transcodes (for video) it will work fine.
