How do I share my Synology with a friend who uses KODI?

As title because I've tried everything.
If I can give him a share in a Web Browser then surely I must be able to set it up on KODI!

What I have done:
Went into my Synology software, right clicked on a folder and shared it where I get eg http://gofile.me/4HGDV/LSFqzwPoh (you should see something in there).

So I've tried to setup an HTTP share with the above address with no luck.
When the above URL is linked to it becomes this -
https://gofile-3448474456.de8.quickconnect.to/fsdownload/LSFqzwPoh/Test
but once again no luck with that on an HTTP share.

Any ideas please?

You think it would be easy, if I can give you access into a folder like above it must be straight forward to do it from KODI!

The files would be 720 at the most.
I have lots of very old TV & Comedy series that I wanted to share with him, if he can watch them with a web browser then i thought KODI would do it easy.

I don't under stand why KODI can't do this

Thanks, it's only my best mate and I thought it would be simple.
He can just watch stuff by going into my web link.
I just thought I could put the web link into KODI and I'd see it.

I have a Synology APP on my phone to do that without KODI.
