Share is a versatile, self-hosted solution designed for secure and efficient sharing, requiring no account management for ease of use. With Share, users can effortlessly share secrets and large files through a simple yet powerful interface. The app supports basic links and passwords, as well as convenient one-click links, and includes automatic strong password generation to enhance security. Leveraging GopenPGP and OpenPGP.js encryption, Share ensures the safety of shared passwords, while offering automatic expiration based on a specified date or maximum unlock limit for added control. Fully customizable with your own logo and color, it adapts to your personal or organizational style. Share is an all-in-one tool for secure, flexible, and user-friendly sharing. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Share on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
