Official ASUSTOR apps - File Explorer - REQUEST

[Hughesy]

Hi

I'd like to request that the option to download files for users from a folder being given as read_only access to be switched on/off as required by an administrator.

Often people would like to provide access to files (photos) for users that can be seen but not actually downloaded.

Thanks

IMHO, the File Explorer should be locked to the Admin only, and accessing any of the actual data on the NAS should be through a web front end.

I don't share the root access to the NAS in any way, shape or form. Everything I share out is individual ports, pointing to specific web instances or applications. I keep my data integrity, and the security it has, because I never share out the ADM port numbers. I changed the SSH ports to something very non-standard as another layer of protection. Only the admin account is enabled, so no one else gets to the data. No one can manipulate it, as they can't write/delete/copy or move it.

I know my model isn't for everyone, but, for those that need different flexibility, it's easy enough to do with apps like OwnCloud, DropBox, etc.

Just my $.02 worth, anyway.
