DMZ is implemented in a variety of ways. Some networking equipment does DMZ well; others, not so well. Putting any device in the DMZ just removes layers of protection. I do not know of a secure/reliable way to have a NAS available from anywhere/anyplace on the Internet. Maybe other forum members will chime in.
DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) is not a secure zone, it is to make the LAN secure by moving otherwise outside exposed services to outside of Intranet. See How to Remotely connect to your NAS device
In my router: "This page allows configuration of a specific network device to be exposed or visible directly to the WAN (public internet). ); This may be used when problem applications do not work with port triggers. Entering a "0" means there are no exposed hosts."
You should be able to access your NAS with WebDAV (if it supports). The link I gave earlier show you how to (step 2 and onward). I believe the portion about DynDNS is outdated though, as I can't find any free service.
There is no way to interconnect a NAS to any cloud based service to have a web based GUI or are there any web based FTP client that can do an equal Job ?
Why not just configure your NAS to accept what protocols you want and open ports on your router (port forwarding)?
External IP (or Public IP) is either dynamic or static. It is how your ISP assign it to you determines which one.
