That is not simple ReadySHARE. It is ReadyCLOUD, which rides on the back of a MyNetgear cloud account. Is that what you are talking about? You haven't mentioned ReadyCLOUD before, certainly not in the first message.
There too you can arrange permissions on the router so that others can access your files.
But don't waste your time.
Support for ReadyCLOUD feature ends spring 2023 | Answer | NETGEAR Support
They have moved the date a bit, but it dies in a couple of months.
Until then, as suggested earlier, go into the GUI and explore the settings for ReadySHARE. The work out how to set permissions to suit your requirements.
You do still have to allow access to the router. If you aren't happy with the default system, then you may have to investigate alternative strategies.
