NASLink is a secure SMB file manager that connects your phone to your NAS, Windows PC, or Mac from anywhere — over your own Tailscale network, with no port forwarding and no cloud upload. • BROWSE & PLAY INSTANTLY Navigate your SMB2/3 shares and preview photos, videos, music, and documents right on your phone. No need to sit down at a PC just to find one file. • FULL FILE MANAGEMENT Copy, move, rename, delete, and download files and folders. Multi-select and recursive folder transfers let you organize entire libraries in a few taps. • TRANSFER BOTH WAYS Move photos, videos, audio, and documents between your phone's local storage and your SMB shares — back up your camera roll to the NAS, or take files with you. • SHARE FOLDERS SAFELY Send expiring folder invitation links. Links never contain your SMB username or password, and recipients need permission on both your Tailnet and the SMB server. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN SMB credentials are stored in your device's secure storage. NASLink never sends your server details or file contents to its own servers — traffic flows only between your Tailscale network and the SMB server you choose. GREAT FOR - Viewing photos and videos stored on your home NAS while away - Reaching office shared folders from your phone - Organizing and transferring files between phone and NAS - Remote access without exposing SMB ports to the internet WORKS WITH Any SMB2/3 server — including NAS devices, Windows PCs, macOS shared folders, and Linux/Samba servers.

REQUIREMENTS - A configured Tailscale network - A NAS, Windows PC, or Mac with SMB2/3 enabled - An SMB account with access permissions Your files, the shortest route.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NAS Explorer at none against NASLink's 1. NAS Explorer also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). NASLink's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
