How to download folders, not individual files to my tablet

Hi.

I cannot find a way of downloading folders to my tablet!

It will let me download the individual files but not download the whole folder.

And as i want to send 40 folders and each folder contains approximately 15 files, you can see my problem!

Any help would be great.

Steve

    What tablet?  And what app/protocol are you using to do the download?

      Hello steveh1955,

       

      What ReadyNAS model are you using?

       

      Are you using Android on your tablet? If the tablet is connected to the same network where the NAS is, like how Windows machine access the NAS, just map its IP address. On Android, you can use a file explorer app so the tablet/ Android device will let you access any storage, even shared files of computer on the network.

       

      Regards,

        Hi,

         

        Thanks for the speedy reply.

         

        It's a Samsung tab A,
         
        And its remote access through weblink.

         

        And when I open the Web link that was sent I can browse when I right click but no download options appear until I get to the file itself.
