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...

I too have identical symptoms as the OP. I am able to enable onedrive cloud option but amazon drive on/off switch will not turn on. I have not looked at the logs and can do so in a few days, but would think I should not “lock up” like this. I am running OS 6.9.3.
Any thoughts?

Any ideas on what is happening? I have rebooted NAS and also cleared my connection in ACD.

Hi yoban,
Can you send the complete system logs of the NAS? You can check this link on how you can send it.

Hi JohnCM_S,
Thanks very much for that - logs emailed and have put attn: JohnCM_S in the subject. Hopefully they will identify the issue, like a service that is not running.
Look forward to your response.
Cheers.

Hi yoban,
This issue should be able to be fixed through back end. You may contact NETGEAR Support so they can assist you with this.

I am also having the same problem with Amazon Drive switch not turning on and not allowing me to connect. I am using ReadyNAS v6.9.3
I have tried 2 different browswer's: Safari and Firefox. I have cleared the cache which looked initially like something was going to happen but only to fail to turn on again.
Anyone have any success enabling Amazon Drive feature?

yes the software does work and well, but of late it would seem something within ReadynasOS broke it - differing browsers will not help as I have found.

Based on past dealings with support if your NAS is out of support period, it is pretty much impossible to get any further on the phone without a credit card and paying, regardless if it was an issue as a result of internal ReadynasOS.
