File Sharing in ReadyCloud with USB HDD plugin

Hey buds.

 

I am a new Netgear user with a R7000. Great interface, many features. I am loving everything with it so far.

 

I just get a question with the ReadyCloud file sharing. I do registered my router with to my ReadyCloud account and works fine with it. I want to share to my family to their accounts in ReadyShare. However, I cannot find the way to share a folder to other ReadyShare user.

 

 

When I right click the folder in ReadyCloud, I can only see branch of file commands with "Create Web Link", but not any other sharing function. The "Shared Folders" under "Management" is empty too.

 

I do google it and read the guideline. The guideline only mentioned the way for ReadyNAS users.  I am not using ReadyNAS , instead I just attach the USB HDD with the router. Is there any way I can do that? Thanks for anyone reading!

      See this.

      I read the document and find that cover some ReadyCloud feature include "share web link". However, I want to grant more access write like upload, move, copy to other ReadyCloud users. The web link method can only download the file. 

       

      The shared function I am looking for is described here, but that is for ReadyNAS user. I am wondering I can see it empty in "Share Folders" under "Management" tab in ReadyCloud portal with USB HDD, thus want to find out if there is a way to use it.
