ReadyCloud Media backup alternative
This is a question for those using the ReadyCloud Media backup feature on their mobile devices. Have you found a good alternative?

I am looking for a similar solution, i.e., backup media from Android/IOS to my local NAS 204.

What do you currently use as a backup tool?
Acronis would do what you want. But it would overkill, for just that purpose.
SyncBack Touch is free for users of SyncBack.

I used ReadyCloud to back on Readynas 204 and Google Photos backup. Now, I am only doing backup on Google Photos. Both Acronis and SyncBack seem like overkill since both require a Windows machine. I would love a direct backup solution from IOS/Android to RN204.

This section is all about routers. Your RN204 is a network attached storage (NAS) device from a range the Netgear abandoned some years ago.But there are people here who understand these things. They hang out in this section:
ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community
NAS is designed for local network storage. Doubtless there are things out there in iOS/SAndroid world that let you talk to an NAS from the outside world. But that isn't what angus2 talked about.
