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.
As en example I have read reports that
1) that you can no longer add your on add-ons, it is not clear what you do if you want to install a beta version of an add-on or write your own.
2) Dropbox syncing has changed as does no longer work as is does on the current Pro 6. Does the new ReadyDrop replace the old dropbox support and will it work with DropBox teams?
3) Can we still SSH into it as root
I would prefer to do the due-diligence up front, either by reading guides or working through an online demo (like QNAP and Synology do), rather than ordering the 516, using it for a week and then returning it after evaluation.
Do you have some documentation you can send?

- chirpaLuminaryYa, that old is something I setup in 2008. There was newer ones on https://frontview.readynas.com and https://dashboard.readynas.com, but since dead.
- etonLuminaryI followed the Netgear guide to run OS 6 VM. Error. It looks like this:
Any solution? - etonLuminaryFound a solution. Use chirpa's VM version instead.
