ReadyNAS 515 newbie upgrading from WHS
HI I have just purchased a Neetgear ReadyNAS 516 and 6 x Seagate ST4000VN000 4TB NAS HDD. (I have previously been using a HP mediaserver home server WHS which has just failed but I rescued my da...
Now that I granted folder acces to my readycloud account via the admin page, I don't have any problem in seeing all the folder contents..so I think I'm all good and sorted. Works ok in the app too
Hello mediasurfer,
So it was the permission settings?
Glad it's working now.
The ReadyCloud account you logged in to the admin page of the NAS is the one you need to use to add/remove users and configured permissions on ReadyCloud URL, that is different from the admin account you use to log in to the admin page of the NAS which is admin/password by default.
The subfolders you will see inside Home share/folder are personal folders of each user account (local and ReadyCloud accounts). Only admin account and the main ReadyCloud account will be able to see this.
Regards,
Yes all seems well. Only thing I cant get my head round is why I had to add my readycloud as a user in ACCOUNTS to gain the permission and produce the user sub-folder under Home.
I thought the fact i alreay added my readycloud account in CLOUD would be enough
Hello mediasurfer,
I understand, not sure what went wrong there, I tried that on our own unit and I did not have to enter the ReadyCloud accounts on the admin page.
I'm glad all is well now.

Hi JennC
Yes, there is something not quite right, I am not sure if I have set it up correctly, but for my needs at the moment It will be okay. I have all my files loaded on it and I can access them remotely. I have also used the Windows readycloud program and the Apple App. I am now on my way offshore for 2 weeks which will give me the chance to have a good read up and put it through its remote access paces. I will follow up on the issue when I return in a couple of weeks, maybe I will try a telephone support call, thanks for your feedback so far
I understand you tried my issue on your own unit. Are you saying that simply adding a readycloud account under CLOUD will generate a home folder that matches the username, and then that readycloud account will will be able to access all folders without further action
