Demo of OS6
Hi Jabba, Is there a demo or user guide for OS 6. I am looking at buying a 516 but am nervous as there is little info (other than a few you tube videos) on what features are built into the new OS....

1) You can sign up at developer.netgear.com to become a developer for the Genie Marketplace. If you were provided with a beta version of an add-on you should be provided with instructions on how to install it.
2) Dropbox syncing in the new products would be to backup a share on your NAS to a folder in your Dropbox account. This is one way syncing. ReadyDROP enables you to bi-directionally sync files directly between your NAS and your PC/Mac.
3) Yes. There is an option in the Dashboard to enable SSH access. Like before you should see a warning about the implications for support.
There is a Software Manual here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS%20OS6%20SW%20UM_13Mar2013.pdf
Though the 516 is not mentioned, most of the information in that manual would be relevant.
