I have noticed the same problem. Ready Cloud was set to no on the admin page!!! And notice that all other users could not again log in; only I was able to login and set ReadyCloud to on.
How's this possible an what to do to prevent tis in future?

Today I couldn't connect to the NAS throug the ReadyCloud. It was reported as offline. But it was on the Network. I connected as admin and found that the Cloud switch was turned off. Much worse all readycloud users except my own have disapeared.
This makes me very very unhappy - how secure is the system ? How is it possible that these crucial data got lost ?

If you wish to attempt recovery of data that was inside deleted ReadyCLOUD home folders: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Home-Folder-Dissapeared/m-p/1257891#M127405
Otherwise, if you only want to use ReadyCLOUD again, access the local GUI with the local admin user and reactivate ReadyCLOUD.

I am having the same issue. I toggled readycloud back on via the admin page but all my cloud users were deleted and I cannot send invites again. It jsut says "this device is joined to readycloud, to invite users visit ReadyCloud" and when i click the ready cloud link it just takes me back to the normal readycloud page with no new/different way to invite users.

Are those the steps you're following to invite ReadyCLOUD users?

The community is abuzz about this problem. Current theory is that ReadyOS has unregistered ReadyCLOUD users and deleted cloud user home folders on NASes in response to a server outage related to ReadyCLOUD user credentials. Best to take a deep breath before doing anything else.
If you only want to use ReadyCLOUD again and don't care about data loss in a cloud user home folder on a NAS, access the local GUI with the local admin user and reactivate ReadyCLOUD. Otherwise:

Luckily I am not using the home folders for my cloud users. But what to do with those deleted cloud users. Will they get restored? Do I need to do something? What about all the data on my NAS linked to the cloud users. Can I add cloud users via ssh?
