Amazon Drive not turning on
I've been using Amazon Drive to back up my ReadyNas for over a year. I checked Amazon to make sure that everything was backed up, but saw that the backups stopped a few weeks ago. So, I went on my ad...

Hi eclark,
Please try clearing the web browser cache and see if that will help. You may also try using a different web browser or a different computer for isolation.
Also is there a green check mark on both the Internet Available and Service Available?

Thanks for the reply John!
I have tried different computers, browsers, and cleared the cache. The "off" button still will not turn to "on." Yes, there is a green check make next ot both internet available and services available. I've also resarted the ReadyNas.
I really appreciate the help - it's so frustrating that this isn't working!! Any other ideas?
Thank you for helping!!

Hi eclark,
Can you trying assigning a static DNS on your NAS? You can use 8.8.8.8.
If it is still the same issue after assigning a static DNS, please download the system logs and then provide it to us. You may check this link for the procedure on how you can send it.

I am sorry but I don't know how to assign a static DNS. It was recommended to me that I delete the permission to access my Ready Nas in my Amazon Account, and then re-connect it. I have done that, and now in the Cloud section of my ReadyNas admin a window should pop up asking me to connect my Ready Nas to the Amazon account - however it is not.
Do you think it is still a DNS issue? If so, how do I assign the static DNS?
