ReadyNAS 102 - Sharing Folders
Hello & apologies if this is in the wrong section. I've have a folder I would like to share with a flatmate however I'm having issues carrying this out. I've logged in as admin, created a new fol...

I've kinda sorted it.
On one part I think I was being silly trying to untick the DNLA option within the section that gives you 4 choices. All I needed to do was move the slider to off within the DNLA section which sorted this particular issues.
With regards to sharing folders. Because of what the DNLA issue threw up I've now made a folder I wish to share with DNLA protocol and put a shortcut of said folder onto the persons desktop. Seeing as they will be scanning docs which aren't really sensitive and just need to be saved then it doesn't matter if anyone can view these.
I've had my 102 for nearly 5 years now and I can't fault it however the folder sharing issue seems bizarre. I'm just glad that this isn't something that's critical to me.

Hello jwgmorley,
Did they already checked thier email, by the way? They are supposed to recieve an email with a link that they need to click. Please have them logout from ReadyCloud portal first then check their email, that should be the one that has been sent out when you invited them.
Regards,

Hi Jennc, Yeah she clicked on the link which asked her to login when I originally set her up. I then logged in on RC after she had which is when I get the no device registered info. When I log her into the RC web portal it gives me the option to discover. If I were to hold the button for 6 secs and sync it would this cause me issues (should I not do it?)
I'll see her again tonight however I might try sending the invite again.
Thanks again.
