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 pre...
Hello PetGriffin,
Another way is WebDav, see this WebDav access to ReadyNAS OS6 article.
You will be able to find the WAN IP address of your home network simply typing "what's my IP" on Google, it automatically searches the WAN IP of network you are in.
There are some providers like DynDNS who will let you register your WAN IP address to them and they will give DNS address so you can use it for remotely accessing the files instead of WAN IP address.

thanks for your continued support but I have a couple of comments:
(a) WebDAV is not ReadyCLOUD. If I wanted to use WebDAV as my prime means of remote acess I would have installed it first,and not got frustrated trying to use ReadyCLOUD
(b) it is not possible to grant HTTP access to local user home folders, so even if I use WebDAV instead of ReadyCLOUD, then I still have the same problem the one physical user needs two accounts on the NAS: one for local acess and one for remote access.
I could live with the one user/two accounts business if users could actually access shares on the NAS. But I am having trouble even getting this to work
best regards

Hello PetGriffin,
Yes WebDav is not ReadyCloud, just another way to remote access the files. Sorry I missed seeing that HTTP access is not available for Home share when setting protocols.
The invited user should be able to see the shared folder under Home. Make sure the username he/she logs in is exactly the same as what is registered, it is case sensitive. You may check at remote.readynas.com log in then click "View Profile" this will show the userID.
Also, make sure the local username and ReadyCloud username are not the same and not the same with share name too.
