ReadyCloud Files Sharing for USB HDD users??

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!

    eddietylam That feature you seek is only available for ReadyNAS devices. It's not available on routers.

    It just so happen that the interface centralized on both ReadyNAS and Nighthawk routers.


    Through this is not good news,  thanks for this clear official reply anyway.
