Inviting users via READYCloud

I have set up various user accounts on my ReadyNAS and want to allow them to access their home folders remotely using ReadyCLOUD. I logged onto ReadyCLOUD, clicked the home folder for user X and pressed SHARE as suggested here:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyCLOUD/Where-is-the-invite-user-on-the-ReadyCLOUD-web-site/td-p/946611

However, I get this message "You cannot share without selecting a share folder". I'm confused ... Is there another way to invite a user ? I don't really want to create any extra shares

All suggestions gratefully received

Hello PetGriffin,

Please check this article, you'll have to specify which share you want them to access and enable the access rights. See the descriptions here.

If you have more questions, I'll be happy to assist.

Thanks,

  Hi JohnRo
  
  Thanks for sending the link. I got as far as step 7 and that's where I run into problems. This is what I see when I select "Manage"

  There is no "Invite User" button on this screen, whereas there is at this stage of the article. I notice that the ReadyNAS firmware in the article is 6.1.5 whereas I am using 6.2.5. Any thoughts?
  
  Best regards
