Access to company files from web browser
I need staff to be able to access company documents from a web browser.
I have Server 2012 and a QNAP TS-259 Pro+.
The QNAP is configured for domain security.
I want to share some folders on either the QNAP or the server so that staff can log in using their domain credentials and then gain read-only access to the documents.
I want them to be able to view and/or download the files.
I'm not sure how to go about this.
Do I use FTP, File Manager, Download Manager, Web Server or something else?
Should I use the QNAP or the server?

Thanks Rindi, but from what I'm reading, Sharepoint has the same limitations as Onedrive.

These were not the solutions I was hoping for.
I discovered I could use Download Station in the QNAP but I would have to spend too much time working out how to configure it. Looks like Server 2012 has no built in solution.
I ended up using OneDrive in our Office 365 subscription. It's not a good solution but it will do in the short term.
Thanks for your input.

I was originally planning to share the files using Office 365's OneDrive but soon discovered that there were too many limitations: 20,000 file limit, unintuitive interface, syncing problems during testing, inability to copy a file from a shared folder to a user's private folder, etc.
