Do you know how I would install Warpinator on a Synology NAS? I’d love to use this as my go-to for file transfers.

Specifically the wrong answer is to make a whole new (read unecessary) mechanism. Every OS already has CIFS/SMB client support. A tool like Warpinator, which seems to be intended as a quick-and-dirty get the files over (and not intended to set up a permanent share) should just make it easier to create a CIFS/SMB share. Even just a temporary one with a few files in it. That would have been great – it would have obviated the need to create a complicated SAMBA server, and every other OS would be able to easily connect and get the files. As it stands, there is now yet another incompatible file sharing tool that requires custom clients for each OS and which really has no viable chance of significant marketshare.
