This is an old discussion thread, and your problem has a different cause.
All ReadyNAS products are now end-of-life, and Netgear has exited the storage business. Some months back they took down their update server.
You are running the most recent (and possibly final) firmware.

Thanks StephenB for clearing that up 👍One other question...
I have been using the 'Microsoft OneDrive' sync option without issues, but it's been disabled (turned off) having just looked at it. Not sure when this happened...whether it was after I power cycled the NAS today, or some days ago....I've no idea, but pretty sure it worked some 7 days ago when I last did a backup of my laptop! However, if I try to enable it (turn it back on) I get the following error message..
"Unauthorized. It could be invalid user account credential or the app is not allowed to access cloud drive. Stopped syncing with One Drive."
Is this also due to 'end of life' and Netgear no longer supporting syncing backups to the cloud?
Thanks again.

I don't know what changed, but the "End of Life" status means Netgear won't fix it.
