ReadyDROP files are stored in /c/.readydrop (that is a hidden folder on data volume C) on the ReadyNAS.
As for the issue with where the files are stored on your PC hopefully they can reproduce that and fix it in a future update to the software.
Users granted access to your NAS over ReadyNAS Remote can access your ReadyDROP.
To access ordinary shares via ReadyNAS Remote they would need to login to ReadyNAS Remote using a ReadyNAS Remote account, then to connect to your NAS they'd need LAN credentials for your NAS (i.e. in the Dashboard click Configure, go to Security, add a User etc.) or for you to have guest access enabled for your shares. On a PC they'd use CIFS/SMB and on a Mac they could use that or perhaps AFP (if that's enabled).
