Disable ReadyCloud sync on mobile access

Hi. I like to use the ReadyCLOUD client but like to disable folder sync if I am using WAN connection. Is that somehow possible? Cheers, Nils

Hi augur,

Which Readycloud client do you use? Windows/MAC client or IOS/Android readycloud app?

For Windows/MAC client, there is no way to disable folder sync only with WAN connection. We have option to "pause sync" and "resume sync" for a sync job to disable folder sync regardless connection methods.

For IOS/Android readycloud app, there is an option "Use Cellular Data" to disable media backup when connection is 3G/4G, but no option to disable media backup only with WAN connection.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Best Regards.

Hi,

using the newest windows client. Would be a nice feature because windows will detect mobile connections and can stop syncronization like in Outlook or OneDrive. Can I perhaps constrain syncrhnization in local connections in general? Actually the clients detects if the ReadyNAS is in the local network so the basic functions are available.

Cheers,

Nils

    Are you saying that it won't let you post an idea without a tag?
