How to use Streaming
Hello all can someone help/explain the Streaming function to me I must be doing something wrong. If I use my phone readycloud app go to Music or Movie and click on a file it asks me to download it......

Your computer is downloading them as a file as you're not viewing/accessing them using a program that can stream dlna content.
Yoda3647 - you said you were using a phone I think. In that case, you still need a DLNA player app. There are several available for both iOS and Android.
There is also a plex app - that can work w/o needing ReadyCloud.
On my phone I have VLC, do not know how to make it work phone ask to download

I use plex myself.
My understanding is that you first select the local network from menu, and that the NAS should then show up at the bottom as a DLNA or UPNP item. You'd then select it.
