Pachuco,
I agree, I was super excited for this, and frankly I'm still happy they have at least given us this much readycloud support as opposed to none.
But there are a lot of incompletey features, there are buttons that available that do nothing, and features that show up that can't be used. For example the "share" button can't be used at all, and there is no way to manage users or permissions.
It seems as though the dev team did a copy and paste of the ready as software and stripped out things, but did a poor job of hiding what is unsupported.
Maybe they will continue to further develop this and implement the remaining features, but the ability to share entire folders and grant / manage user permissions is a HUGE missing feature :/
As for streaming, streaming IS AVAILABLE on Netgears iOS apps, the readyshare, readydlna, and genie apps all allow me to stream DLNA media from my ReadyShare / readycloud.
This readycloud webportal however does not support streaming for whatever reason.
