Welcome to the community, SimonZon
The ReadyCloud will only show the files from the attached USB drive on your router.

Dear Elaine,
Thank you for thinking with me!
Okay, noted. The drive I am refering to in my original message is actually connected by usb.
I'll clarify a bit more:
Router: Netgear Nighthawk R7000 - AC1900 Smart WiFi
USB drive connected to router: 2TB usb storage
I can access these files in the ReadyCloud web environment (also sharing for example). However, I cannot set up synchronization using the Windows App. Do you have any clue?
Kind regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,
What's the firmware version installed on your router?
Do you have the latest firmware installed?

Dear Elaine,
My router has the following version firmware version installed: V1.0.7.6_1.1.99, and upon clicking "check" on the update page, it says that firmware is up-to-date.
Kind regards,
Simon
