Secondary cloud user cannot connect - Handshake icon appearing
I have readycloud working for my main Admin account. But when adding a second readyycloud (myNetgear) account I cant get this shared out. This user is linked to the NAS, and the shared invites ha...
Hi chickensoup,
I suppose this secondary ReadyCLOUD account has been migrated to its own myNETGEAR account, right? The invites will be sent by the admin once this secondary account was given permanent access to the shares and should be confirmed prior logging in to the web portal page, desktop or mobile app.
Kind regards,

hi Brian
Thanks for the reply.
>>I suppose this secondary ReadyCLOUD account has been migrated to its own myNETGEAR account, right?<<
Yes, thats correct.
>>>The invites will be sent by the admin once this secondary account was given permanent access to the shares and should be confirmed prior logging in to the web portal page, desktop or mobile app.<<<
When you say the invites will be sent by the admin. Is this automatic or a manual process. As the admin readycloud account wasnt notified of anything. And as when you log into readyCloud for the secondary user all you see is the NAS with a handshake icon still, with no shares showing, even though shares have been provided to the cloud user when I log in to the primary/admin readycloud account.
Any other ideas? I did try removing the user and readding but the same occurred.
I've been persuing this problem for a while too.
Thanks Bell98. Seems I am not the only one having migration issues. I thought I was going crazy looking at this issue. Looks like the only solution is to create new MyNetgear account for secondary non-admin users, rather than migrate them. Would that be your suggestion?
It doesnt look like Netgear are owning up to this as yet. Did you raise a support ticket and get any kind of useful response?
