A shorter route from a shared link to your NAS
Downloading a large file to your computer and then copying it to your NAS adds another step. NASDrop is a self-hosted download tool that lets your NAS or server fetch supported files directly into a folder you choose.
We develop NASDrop at LittleWeirdLab, the software division of BOAZ CNC. Alongside our work importing and supplying CNC, laser and flatbed cutting equipment, training and after-sales support, we’re building software products.
How it works
- Sign in to your own NASDrop web portal.
- Add a supported file link and choose a destination folder.
- Enable automatic archive extraction if needed, then add the job.
- Check progress and the completed result.
Supported GoFile, GigaFile and Pixeldrain links can be added through the web portal. NASDrop provides a download queue, per-job folders and progress information. It can also extract supported ZIP, 7z, RAR and TAR-family archives, with a separate archive password when required.
Other services have different requirements. Buzzheavier needs a signed direct link; X-Share needs the Chrome companion and a user-completed verification and Download click. Check GitHub for the full current list. Pause and resume behavior also depends on the provider.
Where it runs
- Synology: Manually install the SPK on Intel/AMD 64-bit (x86_64) models running DSM 7.1 or later. DSM 7.1 and 7.2 have been verified on real hardware.
- Docker: Images support linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 hosts, with storage and folder permissions configured for your setup.
On a fresh installation, change both temporary login credentials and select a writable download folder. After a Synology update, reselect the default folder in Settings. NASDrop is installed manually and is not listed in Synology’s official Package Center catalog.
