Well I wish I'd read this post before I bought the RN314. At best Netgear is playing some bait-and-switch game with what they've publicly said. Here is a quote from Smallnetbuilder regarding Readycloud:
"NETGEAR asked me to point out that setup isn't the only cloud-enabled feature that OS 6 brings to ReadyNAS. You get portal-based (no fiddling with dynamic DNS or router port forwarding) file access and management, a Dropbox-like service (ReadyDROP), Remote support for Time Machine backups, remote play for media files and other features that will be explored in the OS 6 review to follow."
That review definitely played a large part of my purchasing decision. Readycloud is certainly not ready for business use in my estimation. Remote access throuh the browser is single user and admin only? Why not say that instead of "portal-based file access and management"?
I wish Netgear could get their story straight.
