Can not access attached USB disk with ReadNAS212
Hi, I have attached 2 external USB disks to my ReadyNAS-212 NAS. However whenever I try to access them using Finder in my iMac, I get error message stating "The operation cant be completed because the original item for 'USB_FLASH_2'" cant be found". However in my browser 'http://192.168.0.101/admin/' I can see this USB disk with permission Anyhost+Anonymous (snapshot is attached). Could you please help me on why I cant access the USB drive from Mac's Finder? Any pointer will be highly appreciated. Model : RN212|2 BAY Desktop ReadyNAS Storage

Can you access USB_FLASH_6?
I can only see contends of USB_FLASH_6 in Finder (Mac). If I want to copy any file to USB_FLASH_6 using command+C, I cant do. Finder is asking for password (PFA the snapshot), and if I provide my Login credentials of Mac, it does not accept.

What happens if you enter the admin credentials of the NAS?
I am thinking you have a permissions problem. There are two sets of permissions - network access and file permissions. Both need to be set up properly to allow access. One option is to look at these settings for a share on the internal drives, and match them on the two USB drives.
