ReadyCLOUD not connecting

I have read thread after thread for the past two days trying to work why I cannot connect to Readycloud anymore. Nothing suggested works.

 

Some info:

1  ReadyNAS 104 with 4 drives on 6.7.4

2  Readycloud for windows is v1.5

3  Not sure when my issue started but the last file was synced to my NAS on 30 May 17 (working fine for a year before that.

  

Symptoms

1  In readycloud.netgear.com

  a  I can see the device and discover it.

  b  … but I cannot “manage” it, I don’t see any shares.

 

2  In the ReadyNAS admin page

  a In admin > cloud, both Internet Available and Services Available are green ticks

  b … but when I try to turn ReadyCloud on, it errors with “something has prevented the readynas from connecting to the readycloud server".

 

3  The windows readycloud app continually claims the NAS is offline

 

4  RAIDar sees the NAS and eports all is healthy and allows me to browse the files.

 

5 I have factory-reset the OS, tried the beta of 6.7.5, reinstalled the app, and changed setting based on other threads in the forum.

 

I have downloaded logs using RAIDar but I’m not sure what log to look at.  Any ideas would be gratefully received,

 

Thanks

  • Finally fixed.  I think it was related to a deleted user message months ago.  Regardless it took Netgear L3 support to fix, something about removing old settings.   Thanks for your help anyway

    Hello LeapingLemming,

     

    Can you please check on the admin page's Accounts> Cloud Users if your ReadyCloud account is listed under Name and Email?

      Hello LeapingLemming,

       

      If you have your ReadyCloud login set as "signed in as" under Cloud > ReadyCloud then that login should be listed under Accounts > Cloud users. Can you check please what you have under Cloud > ReadyCloud?

        Hello LeapingLemming,

         

        Did you have ReadyCloud users before on the NAS that they already have home shares? If so, backup the files stored to their home shares.

         

        Then check under System > Settings if UPnP is enabled. It should.

         

        Regards,
