Hello AVoelp,
ReadyCloud is a feature on ReadyNAS OS6 units that will allow you to access the NAS remotely via web URL and/or ReadyCloud app (iOS, Android, Windows and Mac). This will also allow you to invite friends to access some shares/folder by setting up a permission.
Do you need ReadyCloud? It is up to you, alternatively you can also setup FTP on some shares you want to access remotely, the difference however is FTP uses local users you have in the ReadyNAS admin page for authentication and you need to make sure your ISP and router do not block FTP firewall port.
