NASDrop: Share Links Straight to NAS
Paste a file-sharing link and let your Synology download, extract, and file it
- Problem
- People often share large files via GigaFile, GoFile, and similar sites. Users must download to a computer, then upload to their NAS—a wasteful round trip. Existing download tools handle multi-part archives, extraction passwords, and resume poorly, and managing many tasks is painful.
- Solution
- A lightweight service running on the NAS: paste a share link and the NAS downloads directly to a chosen folder. It supports queues, pause/resume, per-task folders and extraction passwords, and auto-extracts after download, including multi-part archives, waiting for missing volumes.
- Users
- NAS users (Synology et al.) who regularly receive large files from file-sharing sites and need to archive them
- MVP
- Parse 5–6 major sharing sites; download queue with pause/resume; per-task save folder; auto-extract including multi-part; simple web UI
- Revenue
- One-time purchase or subscription by number of supported sites; offer Docker image and Synology package, with a pro tier adding more sites and automation rules
- Why now
- NAS adoption is growing and share links remain a primary way to move large files. Site parsing has maintenance costs, but an indie dev can expand site by site, dogfood first, then sell.
