Is there any way to have the ReadyCloud Desktop app sync both ways? so far I have only been able to have copies of whatever it's on my computer but if I delete something in my hard drive it doesn't get deleted in the ReadyNAS, that makes me have a bunch of old files that I don't need anymore, I have to delete them twice, in my hard drive and then in the ReadyNAS. I'd love to have that feature, to be able to have an exact copy all the time, is that already a feature? and if not is it somewhere in the plans of coming up things? thanks in advance! :)

Yes, there is a way to do bi-directional sync.
There are two distinct functions from ReadyCLOUD desktop app. There is "sync" and there is "backup". You can create a backup job where all the content in the folder (ReadyCLOUD will create the folder for you on your PC) will be backed up to ReadyNAS. A different function is sync. You first tell ReadyCLOUD which folder you want to sync from your ReadyNAS, ReadyCLOUD will create a mirror folder on the PC. In the future, all material in both folders will be synchronized. There are sufficient amount of KB articles available on this topic, with step-by-step instruction.
- I understand generally what ReadyNAS is, but do you have a site that provides a simplistic description of what it is, including a graphical depiction of how it interfaces with all devices in the home network?

There is a newer video that is more of a vlog format that is close too:

The NAS can be multipurpose and depending on what you are looking for the NAS may fit your needs, but the two videos should give you a quick start on what basics of the NAS (from the ReadyNAS side of things).

There is abundance of data, but unorganized, unstructured, uncurated, and unqualified data.
Maybe we can try a different approach here, a dialog.
A NAS is a storage device that is attached to the network, for you to use from anywhere that is connected to the network, and to share material with anyone who is connected to the network.
What would you like to do with something like that? And we can talk about what devices that you can connect the NAS to and what sort of connecting hardware and/or software you might need.
