These are all wonderful suggestions but, I am absolutely lost with the suggestions. 

 

Thanks Brad.

Hi Brad,

 

as I understand it, the issue here is that your synology NAS doesn’t have the ability, out of the box,  to run a web browser and thus download files direct to the NAS.  Plus you don’t want to also run a pc etc just to download and then transfer to NAS.

 

I know nothing about NAS (I just use a PC as my music server) but as I understand  it a NAS is just a specialised PC, so there should be a way to do what you want to do.  The link I posted above is to “Download Station” - a Synology  app  that would seem to allow you to do what you want.  What you want to do seems eminently reasonable to me and there’s got to  be a way.  You could try what I suggested or maybe there is a Synology forum you can ask at.

 - e.g “how do I  run a web browser on Synology NAS to download files and control this process from my iPad”
