Hi.
I've got the same problem with my NAS. When I came home today i wanted to do some work and store it on my nas (back from the external hdd).
I noticed that my home dir was gone and i found a log-entry 'User deleted'. The same problem goes for my second NAS.
Due to some problems a while ago i had to factory reset my NAS-Systems not only once, so no data is gone because there was no data exept snapshots of an empty home dir ( only on RN104).
Both NAS running 6.6.1 with same configuration.
Why are my cloud user acc was erased?
Why isn't home dir created after registering the acc on the nas again? (only RN204)
Why is only RN104 making snapshots?

If you unregister the ReadyNAS from ReadyCLOUD, it deletes the ReadyCLOUD users from the NAS, as well as their home folders.

As I remembered, I just checked, and there is a warning about this: https://i.imgur.com/7oAANen.png

If your data is important you should have a backup to restore from.

Hi,
Nobody did anything. This is exactly the problem. In which log file can I find out who initiated this action?
Tx for help,

I have just called Tech Support and they are aware there is an issue with ReadyCloud and they are working on it.
Basically your NAS "chats" with the ReadyCloud servers. If however your NAS can not be found on their database, due to whatever reason, then the NAS seems to toggle the "ReadyCloud" option to "OFF" and proceeds to dump the cloud users and their "Home Drives".
