ill take a look in to the methods and app suggestions you mentioned when i an be bothered to learn the ins and outs of the capability's and extra features your way might have..
when you mentioned saving files in the home folder, i don't use it at all for storing files on my NAS but i did take a look and noticed that emby had folders and "configs" "meta" etc located there. would that be affected after the closing down of readycloud?
my email user folder is empty as well as the admin folder, they should all be safe right?
cheers for all your time replying to btw, good to have a second opinion on this whole issue

emby must have created a local user account when you installed it. The admin account is also local. So nothing there will change when ReadyCloud shuts down.
The email account is the only one that will be affected - you won't be able to use that account when the service shuts down (or if you leave ReadyCloud before then).

i gave Resilio Sync a go and its woo much going on for me to figure it out, for now ill stick to the easy way i mentioned before,
now emby does have its paths located here.
Paths
Cache:/home/emby/cacheLogs:/home/emby/logsMetadata:/home/emby/metadataTranscoding temporary files:/home/emby/transcoding-tempi think I'm going to just wait it out and see what happens, make a copy of the emby folder just incase, its a little overwhelming ATM and i dont want to break anything. ohh well its only meta data and user preferences, my movies etc will be safe at bests. good night, thanks again for your timeWe can lock this thread now...- hectik17Apr 18, 2023Aspirant
PS: i also use google remote desktop if i ever need to use my pc from home. it can also mirror to friends tvs or i can use it when im away from home to basically control my pc on the phone, (check ups on torrents P2P programs etc) just thought you might wanna know about that if you ever need to use your pc on your phone for other things besides file browser APPS.

My applications are all installed on a Windows PC, and not on the NAS. So remote desktop is something I use quite a bit (even when home).
FWIW, I've found that in some places the services are blocked, so it is handy to have more than one way to do what I want. So I also have some similar tools for remote desktop - in particular, rdp (built into Windows Professional), and NoMachine. I used to use the free version of TeamViewer, but found that they periodically shut off the free version and want me to pay (and their subscription price is quite high).
Google Desktop (and TeamViewer) will run from anywhere w/o a VPN, I use the other tools only with the VPN.
