Photo Management
Hi All,
On the readycloud app I am unable to sort photos, changes settings for thumpnails and views such as list or sized icons are all fixed. Photos cannot be viewed and scrolled through, it's a one by one download and after each photo you'll start on top of the list.
I spend a lot of money on the 6-bay NAS and it cant do basic photo management.
Same problem I have for general documents via the mobile app but my key problem is photos.
Desktop system doesn't have any photo management software but third party gets me at least somewhere. No solution for accessibility.
Does anyone has a solution for this? Running Netgear NAS 426 - 6 bay at home.
Running Android on Samsung S20. Desktop I run Linux Mint with Pix and some Window surface pro systems with some freeware apps which work OK ish.
Main issue is mobile access to view photos and management around it.
Please help
My conclusion is to not proceed with the attempt. 1 Safety concerns and 2 complexity.
I will safe up for a Synology and keep my Netgear 6-bay raid 10 as back up for how long it still keeps running

I can't help you with ReadyCloud, as I don't use it. But if you do want to use some other photo management tool, ZeroTier can solve the remote access issue.
I'm sorry mate, the website does not provide any evidence able to manage photos or what the functionality the software offers.
Zerotier lets you set up a virtual network - which you can use to access your NAS when you are away from home, You'd install the zerotier app on the NAS and the devices that you want to access the NAS when you are remote.
Openvpn is similar - though normally it'd be installed in your home router (not the NAS). But you'd still install the openvpn app on your devices.
Either way, you'd just launch the app on your devices when you are away from home, and you'd get the same access you have when you are connected to your local network.
As Sandshark says, they don't provide features to manage your photos. Instead, you'd use the same apps for that as you'd use at home.
