You can sort-of do this with ReadyCloud, but I think installing NextCloud would be better. NextCloud has a "anonymous upload" feature that is substantially the same as what you are wanting. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/user_manual/en/files/file_drop.html
You can get a package for NextCloud that will work on your RN214 from https://rnxtras.com/readynas-os6-arm. There is a small cost (€2.99), but you do get support for installation and configuration if you need it.
Another way to get there is to use cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive) for the upload, and sync the cloud storage to a share on the NAS with the built-on cloud apps.
