I do not know the technical scope of this request, maybe it is science fiction.
Speaking only for myself and not for Tim or any others of his merry band of helpers of which I count myself one.
There are two concerns I have-
1. In a quick web search, I couldn't find any public description of the "Synology DS" nor of any open-source project implementing it. Only old, opaque descriptions of Android and Apple iPhone/iPad apps. I can't figure out what's being asked for. It seems possible to me that the apps are just a Synology convenience wrapper around the existing SMB and NFS protocols in which case moOde already can access the NAS, just with an FQDN which resolves to a server outside the home LAN.
But then...
2. There are Synology posts about how to access your NAS from the Internet. Unsurprisingly, they would require creating one or more holes in your office firewall using port-forwarding. That would have been a huge no-no at my work, especially for something which is not work related.
