Hi DomDellino,
It is normal that you will be directed to the NAS local admin page when you do that procedure. If you want invite users to access the folders through Readycloud, you may go to the HOME tab. You can hover the mouse pointer over the share folder and then click the blue icon with a + sign. You will have two options of "Share as Link" and "Full Folder Access", You may also visit this link for the procedure.

Hi JohnCM_S,
As I suspected, my issue was a login problem. I discovered that I already HAD created a NETGEAR Login, but i was still using my ReadyNas login.
Once I tried the NETGEAR Login, i could see the "Create Web Link" drop-down meniu item on Subfolders.
Thanks for your tenacity!
I consider my problem resolved.
Cheers,
-dom
