Hello j0sh,
The "Everyone" permissions in File Access is not the same as Network Access. Network Access is for Samba, but File Access is the POSIX permissions on the file system
Typically, this is always set to "Everyone" then you use Windows to set expanded ACLS through explorer and not through the UI. So, leaving this set to Everyone does not mean you everyone will be able to access the share.

So is selecting Everyone under Network Access my only option for this to work? Anyone want to buy a ReadyNAS 314?

Hello j0sh,
When you have admin and your ReadyCloud ticked under Network Access of the share and Allow Anonymous access is not ticked, this should allow your ReadyCloud account to access that share. On my own settings I made, I've set File Access' Folder owner and Folder Group as admin with Everyone ticked.

After updating to 6.8.0 I am now able to access with readycloud again WITHOUT having Everyone listed... Thanks for everything stating how that was required.
