Thanks. Before I try it, I'd like to ask one more question. What if you disable the Amazon Cloud Drive Sync in the Admin page first. Then go to Amazon Cloud Drive, and delete folders in the ReadyNAS folder that the sync writes to. Then re-enable the Sync? What would happen then?
I haven't tried your test, but my expectation is that "two way sync" means exactly that. Deletions in the cloud translate to deletions on the NAS, and vice-versa. Adds/updates to the cloud are applied to the NAS, and vice versa.
