    Yes but you need to authenticate to that 3rd party server whenever you want to perform action on that attachment like download or delete. In salesforce, a link can be shown like "download file", and when user clicks on the link, need to authenticate with that server and download file from the right path.

    Although it's not cheap or inexpensive, this might be an appropriate situation to consider implementing Lightning Connect which would use ODATA to connect with your NAS database that's external to Salesforce. Lightning Connect now has Read/Write capabilities and integrates very well with Salesforce. You'd get the benefits of the less expensive storage on your NAS yet still have seamless integration with Salesforce that would be transparent to your community users.

    Hi,

    Yes you can do it but it must be authenticated by salesforce.

    Hope this helps.
