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.

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.

  Sorry but what web link are you referring to? What exactly did you try in the admin page to get remote access to the files?
