Changing ReadyCLOUD download folder
Hi all :) Because for some reason I cannot get ReadyCLOUD to stream videos on my girlfriend's Tab Pro 8.4 (streaming seems to be working on my Tab S 8.4) I'd like to change ReadyCLOUD default down...

Most apps do, but ReadyCloud doesn't (the control is grayed out). It should. ReadyNAS Remote can download the file, but it doesn't allow moving its data to the SD card either.
Personally I recommend plex for streaming (if you have an RN200 or better), and ES File Explorer for file downloads. The latter supports FTPS. You do need to forward some router ports.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. :)
ReadyNAS 104 Firmware: 6.2.5
ReadyCLOUD android app v1.2.1
I'd like to change the download folder on a Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 as I can't seem to be able to stream videos to it (streaming seem to be working on my Tab S 8.4).
An option would then be to download the files but as they are quite big I'd rather save them on the device microSD card (59Gb free vs 9Gb on the device itself).
The best solution would still be to make the videos stream to the device though.

Hi ddlooping,
Downloading a file and setting a directory where will it be saved is not yet an option. This feature would benefit a lot of users, especially if they want to stream video files that are large in size. I suggest you contact NETGEAR support to create a ticket to
submit this request.
Kind regards,
