Is ReadyCLOUD ready to use?

Thanks Leia,

There's a number of things in your response:

• Currently, local user remote access is only supported via ReadyNAS Remote (requires client software installed).


• ReadyNAS Remote users are required to authenticate with the NAS itself so the ReadyNAS Remote account used to establish the connection is somewhat arbitrary (e.g. I could create a single ReadyNAS Remote account for my company and have everyone log in with it, then use their local user when prompted).


• ReadyCLOUD currently only works with a single ReadyCLOUD account which is associated with the NAS admin account at present.


• Netgear intends to include ReadyCLOUD access for "friends" in a later release of ReadyCLOUD / OS 6.

This NAS was bought for an office with several client-site workers. These users would like to have access to the NAS files from any computer with a web browser. I really thought that was what ReadyCLOUD was for, and I look forward to that crucial element of ReadyCLOUD being implemented. Any ETA for this functionality?

For the time being is my best solution:

• Create a company ReadyNAS Remote account.


• Use this account to activate ReadyCloud on the NAS


• Add this account as a Cloud User of the NAS


• get all staff to login with this account in both ReadyNAS Remote and the ReadyCLOUD


• Tell staff if they wish to access their home directories they can only do this via ReadyNAS Remote

Does this seem correct Leia?
