Share files with others without account/credentials

I would like to share a folder (e.g. with a link) with others without
having them to log in, create a profile with credentials, password,
etc.

They should be able to read AND write inside that folder: upload,
download, alter, delete, etc.

* Seafile only has an upload OR download/read feature.
* Nextcloud has this option but it seems like an overkill for this
small task
* Synology native solutions don't provide this feature either.

Have you got some other suggestions for me? Preferable docker and
cloudflare compatible :-)

Please be specific, you want to share a folder with specific people,
or with anyone who has the link ?

So sftp server?

With anyone who has the link.

This was my first thought also, but I am talking about novice users
here who are not familiar with those environments. Also I am not sure
if I can enclose their access.

Well, nextcloud isn't that resource hungry solution. It's just a bit
PIA to setup.

Does Synology Drive not allow sharing files and folders like Google
Drive?

Yes, but only to view the content. One can not upload or delete files
and folders.
Yes, there is an upload link possibility. But that also does not
provide editing of existing content.
Or am I missing something?

[zrok does this fairly
easily.](https://docs.zrok.io/docs/concepts/sharing-private/)

Exactly, plus removes the need for Cloudflare.
