ReadyCloud...doesn't allow upload of a folder? Only individual files??

My employer is using ReadyCLOUD and, though they don't mind if I use my preferred cloud service (G-drive), I am supposed to be uploading periodically to duplicate my cloud-storage items for them to access centrally if need be.  I've tried doing this, and am stunned that it seems impossible to upload a whole folder, with or without subfolders.  All I've been able to upload is individual files.  

 

Am I missing something, or is it really necessary for me to upload individual files?  

 

The best method I've heard of working around this, from a co-worker, is to duplicate my folder structure within RC, then upload each folder's contents individually.  I can't /imagine/ this really being SOP.  What's the deal?

    Hello 808Pants,

     

    We may need to get more details about your setup. Here are some questions I have that can help in resolving this:

     

    • What is the model number of your ReadyNAS?
    • What is the current firmware version?
    • How do you exactly access the NAS volume remotely? If you are using a third party cloud service, please give more information about such as how it accesses the NAS, which protocol it uses, etc.
    • Have you used ReadyCloud portal or ReadyCloud desktop client?
    • Are you getting any error message when copying a folder to a share? If so, please post a screen capture.
    • If you are getting this problem using ReadyCloud desktop client, are copying and getting this problem when copying to one particular share? Have you tried other shares of the NAS?
    • Have you checked the permissions of this share (Network Access and File Access)?
    • Have you tried locally accessing the NAS and mapping it with its LAN IP address to check if you get the same problem?

        I certainly don't have the patience to re-type my entire response, apparently lost due to "authentication failure".  Yeah.  Thanks for that.

         

        I'm no sysop or admin, and you're asking me questions that suggest that's what you think I do, though I thought I made it clear from my description that I'm not in that role.
