Readyshare is accessible in windows but not through Nighthawk app
The readyshare drive shows in windows 7 and 10 but not with the nighthawk app (apparently the Genie app is not compatable)installed on an iPhone 10 and with blue stacks android emulator on windows 1...
Is there an app that will allow access to the readyshare drive since the Genie is not compatable? The mention of the andriod emulator was just to show what I am running the app on and if it was a factor in the issue I am having

Not sure why you mention the Android emulator for Apps - regardless if using iOS or Android, the Nighthawk App does not allow the simple ReadyShare access and file/folder transfer with two simple tabs (local, remote) we're used to from the Netgear Genie Apps.
Even the ReadyShare App does not have a functionality similar to the Genie App ReadyShare access.

I appreciate your help, but I'm thinking that this app is meant to connect for a Readynas? I do not have a ReadyNas I am using a Toshiba 500 gb 2.5" external.

ReadyNAS not needed.
The ReadyCloud app for Android can "remote connect" to USB devices attached to a router.
I know nothing about the iJunk app. I do know that its apps sometimes lack features that work on Android devices.

Lot of App limitations were caused on both Android and iOS from the initial full data isolation ideas.
The biggest missing feature in the ReadyCloud app is the side-by-side view (in two tabs) for the local and the remote storage available in the Genie App, but oddly not in the (comparably poor and aged) ReadyCloud App.

The ReadyShare remote access is enabled in the ReadyCLOUD menu - so it's indeed the similar ReadyCLOUD (with some limitations) as in place on the ReadyNAS. Amazing there is no hint here for the supported ReadyCloud Apps (iOS, Android) and programs (MacOS, Windows) - and no word of the router support in the ReadyCloud App description. Another one for the "best of" Netgear Christian_R
