thanks for your reply mdgm.
That cleared up some misunderstanding that I had. I thought that ready drop was a way to access and upload content on my existing shares via web or file system. But what it appears to be, is simply a way to copy files up to the root of the c drive on the nas, and then share those same files, but drop/remote is and has nothing to do with the existing shares that you set up on your lan.
So anything I copy up, I would then have to copy to my shares when I got home if I wanted them to exist on my NAS LAN shares?
Users granted access to your NAS over ReadyNAS Remote can access your ReadyDROP... Thanks, this is what I understood, what I was asking was: Is there a way that this readynas remote user can see your existing nas shares over readydrop or remote? (but I understand the answer is no now, as it works in a different way than expected, it is simply a way to upload and access a special folder..
Having said all this, I was sure that I had read other users talking of accessing thier media shares remotely, and not via ssh or some other addon..
thanks again,
Paul
