Link MyNETGEAR account with a ReadyCLOUD account
Hi all,
I created an account on the ReadyNAS Admin page - Accounts - Users
Now that user needs access to the shared folder via ReadyCLOUD.
How do I create a cloud account for that user?
Regards,

The account you have created is a local user account which ReadyNAS uses when accessing the data locally. A ReadyCloud account is different, you will have to create or own a MyNETGEAR account.
If you have your device registered online, you can use that account to use ReadyCloud or if you have to create an account first, you can go to this link or my.netgear.com to create one.
After that you can use the account to turn on the ReadyCloud service.

Hi Buildster,
You need to invite that user to access the shared folder through ReadyCLOUD. To invite the cloud user, you will need to login to https:readycloud.netgear.com using ReadyCLOUD admin account (This is the account that you use in joining the NAS to ReadyCLOUD). After logging in, you can hover the mouse to the shared folder then click the icon with the '+' symbol.
