ReadyCloud App creates files under Cloud Users credentials - Ultra 6, ReadyOS6
Hi, I have the issue that the ReadyCloud App and perhaps other reasons creates files under the user of the app with group "ready-cloud". This will leads into issues with Resilio Sync App which I ...
Netgear announced they are turning off the ReadyCloud service for NAS next July:
I doubt they will make many changes between now and then - and I suggest you start looking for alternatives.
😞 Like ReadyCloud, was a nice addition to access files without creating a VPN connection.
Do you perhaps know how to set a specific account in general for other services? Tested it with SMB and there also a specific user is used...connected with admin user before so my tests was not fine...
Resilio Sync has issues if not the user running the service is used...

Personally I use OpenVPN (which is built into my Orbi Router). Though I am just looking for remote access. I've also set up Resilio Sync - though it's hosted on a PC, and not the NAS. I only have one account set up for it.
Sandshark likes ZeroTier - the version in the ReadyNAS is old, but still functional.
Something like OwnCloud is also a possibility - though not as easy to install now that rnxtras.com is taken down. That's not something I need, so I haven't looked into it.
Actually, ReadyCloud is a type of VPN. ZeroTier is similar in many ways in that it's more typically used to simply link devices than whole networks (though it can do the latter). In addition to computers, tablets, and phones linking to a NAS as with ReadyCloud, you can link all of those to each other, including NAS-to-NAS for remote backup.
