Not being able to specify source and target directories is one of my two biggest gripes with the ReadyCLOUD software! I just recently acquired my first NAS and have been frustrated with the lack of such a basic feature as being able to specify which folder you would like to backup and where it should go. So now I have to put all the files I want to backup in the 'Users' folder. And you can't choose where you want the files to backup to, or what they should be named. It just creates an automatic backup job on the 'data' drive.
Is it really that hard to add this feature? Considering that you can do a backup and all the other features of the NAS, it doesn't seem like a big ask to extend the capabilities of the software to do that.
Not that the backup/sync feature works properly, but I will address that in a separate topic as gripe number 2.
