Hiding share from ReadyCloud?
Hi, I have ReadyCLOUD working perfectly on my RN104 but I'm wondering if it's possible to hide some shares or folders from the cloud, as in only being able to access them from LAN (Windows 8.1), while keeping access to everything else.
What I've tried so far is removing permissions to my readycloud user to shares, with no luck as I can't uncheck the Read/Write permissions to said cloud user. I've tried this from the local admin page and the ReadyCloud webpage.
I've also tried removing all network protocols except SMB to this share, but still can access it perfectly with ReadyCloud.
Thanks!
- Are you trying to hide the folder/share from the invited user? Or are you trying to hide it from your (owner?) account?
If it is an invited user then Vandermerwe and JennC has the article posts that you are looking for to correct the behavior.
If you are referring to your account with the owner account, then there is not an option to allow you to hide the shares. Since you are the owner, you are considered the admin that will have more visibility than your invited users.

You are probably logging in as the admin Readycloud user and therefore you will have access to everything. I think you need to create another Readycloud user then use the admin account to restrict access. After you log in to Readycloud there is the Access tab which I assume is where you have been trying to change permissions.

Hi vandermerwe, I have tried removing access to "everyone" in my test share, but still cannot disable my main cloud user (it's grayed out).
Just to clarify, what I'd like is having my media collection available in the cloud, so I can connect from anywhere but my personal documents only accesible from LAN.
Hello igl00,
You may follow steps from this article ReadyCloud access right for a shared folder
Hope this helps and we look forward to your update.
Regards,

Ideally I would want to have one folder or volume (or whatever other way) that isn't accesible at all from the internet, while still being visible from my LAN.
