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.
