ReadyNas Remote and Drop Nothing Works
Hi,
I have a ReadyNAS Duo v2, RAIDiator 5.3.6 firmware.
I went to the web admin page for my ReadyNas, and enabled readyremote and readydrop. I also installed the latest windows client. I then successfully created a remote user, which I can login with at https://readydrop.netgear.com. ReadyDrop also installed successfully.
Now, when I log in to the web at https://readydrop.netgear.com, I can create a folder, but I dont see it anywhere on the readynas? I also do not see any of my shares? It also only asks me to login as the web readyremote user i created. But how do i control what access to the shares this user has? I thought that I would be asked for an actual readynas users credentials?
I have exactly the same experience with readydrop locally. When I open the readydrop folder on my pc, I can create new files on it, but they do not show in the readynas, and I also do not see any of my shares in the local readydrop folder?
config issue: When readydrop installs, it asks me "where do you want your share folder" and suggests user\documents\ .. i changed that to user\readydrop .. but once installed it seems to have used neither, and when i click "open folder" from the readydrop icon in the task bar, the location that open is \appdata\local\microsoft....network shortcuts\ready nas shares .. is there any way to manange this? this enormous path will cause me problems with some software that i use...
I have been through the documentation, but really nothing is documented except just install and add a user.. other than that the guides are for the old frontview versions and not the latest..
any help would be great,
thanks,
Paul

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredReadyDROP is part of the ReadyNAS Remote client but after installing ReadyNAS Remote you do have to manually decide to use ReadyDROP on a PC so that shouldn't be an issue.
Another option for accessing the web-interface remotely would be to use your own VPN or to expose the necessary ports to the internet (the latter could pose a security risk if not done right).
