Can't access certain folders on RN 104 via ReadyCloud
Hello,
I've been pulling my hair trying to find out what happened to my RN104 but so far I haven't gotten the solution I've been searching for so I thought I would post here to see if anyone can help me. I've been able to access the RN104 with the administrative credentials but when my friends try to get access to a certain folder, they can't seem to see anything. Thumbnails won't pop up, previews won't show, and the worst part of it is when they try to download the file, they get an error saying that the file is either corrupt or too large when the file is only 1.0MB in size.
I have full access and have had no problems with it. They have also tried using different browers (Chrome, Firefox, IE) but the same thing happens. We are at our wits end trying to figure out what is wrong. The only thing I can think of is updating to the new firmware because before then, everything was working. Now I have two people who can get to the folder, but when they try to download a file (picture) Windows Photo Viewer can't even display it.
The way that they are accessing the file is via the shared web link I provided them and I checked if it was because the number of access I gave them was up but they still have over 700 times they can access the folder using that link. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreaciated. I have tried turning off and on the RN104 and I have already migrated to MyNetgear so that can't be the issue.
Thank you.

Is this really a ReadyCloud question? (It seems like it, but I wanted to be certain before I move it).
- cotton168AspirantYeah it is because the people who have access can't seem to get stuff out of ReadyCloud. Thank you.
- cotton168AspirantDoes anyone know what is causing this issue?

Hi cotton168,
Welcome to the community!
Which Firmware are you on? Also, do you have files saved on the Private home shares of your ReadyCLOUD users?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,

Hi Brian,
Thank you so much for your reply. As far as I know I'm using the latest firmware with is 6.5.1
I don't think I have the files saved on the Private home shares because before, they were all able to access the folder and download without any issues. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you with.
