Replacement for Readyshare vault that was discontinued
Greetings, Was doing some home network reconfiguration recently and found my Readyshare vault did not seem to be working. I reconnected the drive and got it going again but could not get e-mail ...
We did have a BuffaloNAS Linkstation to allow for network connectivity in our office and we were hoping to use it for remote access, however we could never get remote access working unless you were connected directly to the network it was operating off of (something to do with router mapping that I could never figure out). I thought it had been storing in the cloud because I had setup the buffaloNAS webaccess, and the unit boasted 'Cloud Storage', however when the Linkstation crashed on us after two years, we realized that wasn't the case. Luckily we got most of our data back after a tedious data recovery, and that data came to us on a 1 TB hard drive. I realized I could plug that hard drive into the R7000 and I regained network access between the four computers in the office and I gained remote access, and if I could back it up that would have been the trifecta I was looking for.
Maybe you guys could help point me in a direction that will give me the functionality that I want, as I'm no IT expert and just happen to be the one in the office that decided to try and figure this out so we have functionality and peace of mind. We're a Civil Engineering firm that deals with <10GB of data a year. We have four computers that need to access a single location so that we all see the files that are there, and those files are immediately updated upon saving rather than having to upload each file to dropbox or something (I'm not sure if that is even how drop box works, but I hope I've illustrated that appropriately). Remote access would be extremely helpful so we don't have to copy folders directly onto our computers every time we work outside of the office. We like keeping data off of our computers so that they continue to run as fast as possible. Lastly, we would ideally like a system that when a file is updated, the system recognizes that and backs that file up into the cloud or on a backup drive.
Any advice would be amazing, cheers to you guys, you're miracle workers.

Same here. Buffalo's remote access is a pig.
