Any updates on this from the netgear team?

 

I have a WD 2tb portable drive connect to the usb 1 and have the same issues as the original poster.

        JamesGL: Any resolution to this issue yet?  Have the R7800 router, Win10 devices.  The inability to create new folders in ReadyShare is very, very disappointing.  Takes away considerable intended functionality of network connectivity.  While the workarounds technically work, they are for backup purposes, rather than the maintenance of a true network drive.  Thanks!
