Download files from the ReadyNAS to another device

I inherited this unit and am not familiar with it. The files themselves are backup files. I am not sure how to backup the NG 3200. I can only browse to the folders with the files and folders. I am unable to map it to use it as a regular drive. I can upload files to it, but can't get them off without doing them one at a time. And that is extremely slow.
The software manual is here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/ReadyNAS_Business_SW_05Nov13.pdf
I suggest reading the section on backing up data on page 89. That describes how to create backup jobs on the NAS that will copy shares to a remote machine, using SMB, NFS, RSYNC, or FTP.
Or at the very least, use the SMB or NFS protocols to access the NAS, not the GUI and HTTP(S). The backup job is the best bet, though, as you aren't relaying everything via a PC.

Note that if you are using SMB, the NAS uses SMB 1.0.
If you are using Windows 10, you probably will need to enable the SMB 1.0 client. Enter "turn windows features on or off" in the windows search bar, and click on the app that it finds.
Though the built-in backup jobs are the best fits for what you want to do.
