Hello memihir,
The Everyone should be marked under File Access of the share's permission. This automatically adds the ReadyCloud user you allowed to access the share.

Hello memihir,
I have few questions to ask, I've summarized them below:
- May I ask what is the current firmware version of your NAS and what is the model number?
- How does the user access the NAS via ReadyCloud? Is it through web URL or ReadyCloud app for smart phone/tablet or desktop client?
- What is the version of the app or desktop client?
- If the user is using an app or desktop client, has he tried uploading at least a small file when logged in to ReadyCloud portal?
- Which share did you share with the user?
- Can you post permission settings of this share?
Welcome to the community!

Hi JennC,
Thanks for response, I have tried to answer your questions at my best. Please let me know if you need more details.
- May I ask what is the current firmware version of your NAS and what is the model number? 31200 - 2 bay NAS and firmware is 6.5.1
- How does the user access the NAS via ReadyCloud? Is it through web URL or ReadyCloud app for smart phone/tablet or desktop client? through ReadyCloud, by Readycloud URL
- What is the version of the app or desktop client? using URL, we have tested through desktop client too but no luck
- If the user is using an app or desktop client, has he tried uploading at least a small file when logged in to ReadyCloud portal? Yes we have tried uploading file through URL and it uploads but once upload is completed it does not show that file to the user
- Which share did you share with the user? We have several folders and several users. For eg. some users are accessing Photos some are access other
- Can you post permission settings of this share? To whom we have given access has Read/Write access through netgear cloud and through admin app i tried to give them file access but check box are disabled. I can give file access to either local users or to all.
