Windows 10/Windows 7/Linux, home network only, with latest firmware as of 06/13/2018 I have set up Readycloud, have a ReadyCloud account, and am able to login in to it from a browser. After login all I see are the symbols for the R7000 router and the share name. But selecting the share name, it doesn’t present me with the folders/files that are on the shared drive. If mapped as a network drive in Windows, no problem reading/writing to the share drive. I have done everything that the dashboard asked of me to set it up and get an account. So, what am I doing wrong that ReadyCloud won’t allow me access to what I know is there?

What firmware version do you have on the device? A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

FIRMWARE VERSION V1.0.9.32_10.2.34 Good enough? Installed the the day I updated to the ‘latest’ firmware!And made the OP to this thread on 06/13/2018 IIRC. and IMO, if there are ‘hotfixes’ then Netgear should be informing us.... just saying And firmware should not be a condition of how ReadyCloud works. Again IMO. I have been trying to get that thing to show my files/folders for over a year! And all I get are those icon symbols that go nowhere and do nothing.

What are these "icon symbols? I suspect a configuration issue at your end. ReadyCLOUD isn't the easiest thing to set up. It requires various steps. It is hard to diagnose where things may have give wrong with so little to go on. I assume that you have your router registered in the router. Have you installed the ReadyCLOUD software? Did you factory reset the thing after the latest firmware update?

http://readycloud.netgear.com/client/en/router-setup.html I have done everything outlined on this ‘netgear readycloud’ setup page. it doesn’t mention spending 40 days and 40 nights making screenshots so I can get MY settings back after a reset! And no, I don’t have ‘Readycloud’ software that I am aware of and that is not mentioned as a requirement either in the router setup nor the afore mentioned Readycloud set up page(see above). WHERE IS IT? WHY WOULD/SHOULD I NEED IT? The icon symbols I see are a neat little image of the R7000 router with antennas and another nest little image if a folder with my USB storage name under it. And as stated clicking on the ‘routrer’ to show the ‘share name’ in the right side will show the share, BUT selecting it DOES NOTHING, ZIP, NADA, ZILTCH. And I ASSUME my router is registered in the router or I would not be able to access it. i can get to the share drive via http and ftp but that only allows read, and NOT write to it.

OK, getting somewhere, don’t know where yet as the share drive files/folders won’t display. BUT, in the bottom advanced settings is one for ‘Enable any USB device connectrped to the router’ with radio buttons for YES and NO. NO, was selected(by default I assume). I selected YES hit apply and now selection of the share name at the ReadyCloud site at least tries to,populate. Not there yet but closer. Funny how that arcane setting was failed to be mentioned in ANY of the Readyckoud setups I could find. i have made a backup,of my settings. And maybe will try the reset thing if it still,doesn’t populate the share drive at the ready cloud site.
