Rif.: Readynas 516 access files from the internet.
Good morning I have a readynas 516 System is 6.10.4 hotfix 1. I use it for graphic file archive. I ask if it is possible to access the files also from the internet. And how it is configured. Thank you

One way to deploy that is to find a router that has built-in support for OpenVPN and DDNS - many do. A VPN gives secure access to your entire home network.
ReadyCloud is a free option you could try (readycloud.netgear.com). Performance seems to be a bit hit-or-miss, especially on Macs.
My personal choice is ZeroTier. There is a very outdated Netgear-specific app that still works, or it can be installed via SSH using the normal Debian install process. Unlike a standard VPN, which will bridge your entire local network, it gives access only to specific devices also running ZeroTier. I use it for both remote access and remote back-up.
