Can't download "public" files from ReadyCloud
Since 6.5.1 update, when my clients try to download files in my shared folders (via URL created by "Create Web Link" button), it will only upload somes bytes then says that the download is complete.....

6.6.0 Also solved my issue.
Thanks.

It's definitely something with the way how ReadyCloud talks with NAS.
Or rather how it points your NAS to your browser while trying to download files from remomte network.
I agree that this is not NAS itself, as I am able to download files while in same network as NAS.
Is anyone from Netgear reading our posts?

I've tried to download file from created web link using elinks (cli browser with JavaScript suppor).
It tries to download the file but there is an error that there is something missing:

Hi gpaolo, mrvincent & jacuerro,
Could you guys tell us if this happens when the file/s are being downloaded on the ReadyCLOUD web portal? Also, were you able to try to generate the said web download links using the web portal, iOS or Android apps?
Kind regards,
BrianL

Hi BrianL,
yes, in my case this happens trying to download any file both directly from ReadyCloud portal and using a web download link.
I have tested it with Chrome and IE and the result is the same.
The only configuration where it works is when I am connected to the web portal from a PC on the same network of the NAS.
Thanks, regards,
Gian Paolo
