Smartshare links extremely slow speed

Hello, I am new to NAS and Qnap, so I`ve learning to use it, I rather use Smartshare link generation to share files directly from my TS-216G NAS, with links that can be opened in any browser and files directly downloaded from my toshiba 300 pro in real time.

However, I have noticed that even if my internet speed is 1Gbps down / Up, the recipient can only download at about 800kbps more or less. Download station and uploading from HBS 3 maxes up my upload and download speed if necessary.

I read about “limitations” myQNAPcloud ; but 800 kbps in 2025 is miserable.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is it normal to be that slow? If so, is there any solution that doesn´t involve using external clouds and would let reach a decent upload / download speed when sharing files from the NAS?.

Thanks in advance comunity.

thanks for your answer in advance

CloudLink is tunneled via QNAP servers and is limited no matter what the max up/download speed of the host is.
Direct exposure is data suicide.

Invest in an external cloud service or learn how to implement a container/VM with a service that will not get you hacked and ransomed.
