Beginner question about cloud sync from a ReadyNAS and failure
I am looking to do a one-way (upload changes only) sync with a cloud-based storage solution that is one of the supported services. My question is simple, but the answer isn't really in the documenta...
The APPS share on the NAS is on your data volume, with a link making it appear to be in root. So, chances are, the app would also fail under those conditions because that share would become unavailable as well, unless you have multiple volumes. But you do ask an excellent question as to whether there is anything that explicitly takes care of it. You would certainly not want something like what happened when the ReadyCloud server started kicking out users and folk's NAS's deleted those users and their data.
Unfortunately, that's not really under the control of Netgear -- they just use a standard Linux app for the most part. You'll likely get a better answer on a forum dedicated to the particular app you are using.

How do I determine the app being used? Is it the same app used for all the cloud-sync options in the OS GUI? I'm not looking at downloading a new app, but using one of the options on the "Cloud" tab.
The app used is generally one specifically developed by the company that operates the cloud service, though there are some more generic ones. While the apps are available for selection in the GUI, Netgear still has done little except make them easy to load into your ReadyNAS and make sure they are compatible with the Linux system at the core of OS6. To get a more thorough answer to your question, you'll have to be more specific about the app and service you are using.
I would just be using the built-in cloud services in ReadyOS.
On the "Cloud" tab in the GUI, it lists ReadyCLOUD, ReadyNAS Vault, Amazon Drive, Amazon S3, DropBox, Google Drive, MS Azure, MS OneDrive, and Wasabi. I just have to click "Enable" and configure paths and authentication. There's no installion of 3rd party applications necessary for them. They're built into the OS. I'd most likely use Google Drive, though S3 may also be an option.
