Hi steviep,
For now adding friends in ReadyCloud isn't in the latest released version yet. All cloud users now just work with ReadyNAS Remote clients and ReadyDrop. We will release adding friends later. You can add friends in NAS Admin UI: Cloud->Cloud Users or add friends in Cloud portal(readycloud.netgear.com) then.
For now, if your nas and your PC clients in different network segment, you can just install ReadyNAS Remote client(https://remote.readynas.com/download.html) in your PC, and add remote accounts in Cloud users list(you've already done). If you don't need to set different ACL for these accounts, you can just enable "Allow anonymous access" of SMB or AFP, then login from ReadyNAS Remote client. If you want to set different ACL for these accounts, you need to create local users for them, and they need to login ReadyNAS Remote with their remote accounts, and then login NAS with their NAS local users accounts.


Thanks,
