ReadyCloud will certainly work in this situation. But one thng you need to look at is whether ot not your users use personal home folders. If they do, their ReadyCloud user login will not (and cannot) be the same as their local one, so they will not have access to the presonal folder.
If that is a problem for you, then you need to look into a VPN solution or move all content of personal flders to standard shares (with appropriate user access settings).. I use ZeroTier for my VPN, which resides in an app for the ReadyNAS (and needs a client on each PC), but there are other options, some of which are better implemented in your router than the NAS.
