Fresh Costumer to ReadyNAS 104, quick review and some questions...
Hello dear friends... For some years now, i have being using home NAS to Cloud Services, since the BITCASA Fiasco, where i lost some very important files that where irreplacable... Being a very cau...
Hello,
How are you trying to install the apps? If you do it manually, have you by any chance configured a static IP address for the ReadyNAS and forgot to set the DNS servers also?
There is a built-in Dropbox functionality. It can be found on the local admin page: Backup > Cloud Storage > Dropbox (Cópia de seguranca > Armazenamento na nuvem > Dropbox)
The Firmware is updated regularly. Users have access to beta versions of the next firmware prior to the final release if they wish.However, like with any beta version care has to be taken when applying beta firmwares.
You can map any share on the ReadyNAS as a separate network drive to your PC client. When you create the mapping you will need to add the share name to the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
Bye, Eskender
Hello Eskender,
Thanks for your reply.
Well i did configure a static IP for the NAS, should i add anything else on that part?
Im trying to install the apps from the NAS Interface.
I go to Apps, the "available apps" and then i click install.
The Dropbox function i did see on the Backup part, but no other cloud solution was listed there... Any reason why? Some kind of exclusivity deal or something?
I use the Gdrive because i have an android ecosystem that i use for work. On the Synology there are a agnostic app that uses several cloud services that allow for sync the files and folders with ease...
Are NetGear considering this approach? Gdrive extra security layer is for me a plus!
Do the ReadyNAS OS (Does it have a name?), allows for automatic updates? Or some form of information that an update is available? That is important because sometimes i don´t have the time to manually check if there is any new version of the OS.
I have allready see the 6.4.0 Beta version that are being tested, but my point is are these kind of updates regular?
Are enhancements being expected on the GUI front of things?
Or any of the other things i reported? The fan control is very needed, because with that manual control we can control for silence or noise, or balance...
As for the mapping i can do a map drive of a shared folder, but if i do that i cant see the space in properties... like i have on that mapped drives in the synology... Why is that?
Also what is best... Mapping a Folder by creating a drive with the full space of the volume or create IScsi LUN?
Also about the dual lan ports, i have a Netgear Router, is there any special sinergy of configuration due to the fact that are 2 products from the same company?
With my best regards,
Paulo Eduardo
