Ready NAS App won't access all files

I use the Ready NAS app to access a server remotely. I have inadvertently set this to show only one folder with limited files, I am now unable to access the remaining files as I did before.

 

I have tried removing and reinstalling the app, I have updated to the latest version (1.20) with no luck.

 

Can someone advise how to reset the default configurations?

 

Many thanks in advance.

    What did you change?

     

    Likely this is a permissions issue on the NAS shares.  So look at the network access page on one of the shares, and make sure your readynas user is allowed access. The default setting is to allow everyone access - which means every NAS user account.  "anonymous access" allows access w/o using a NAS username/password.

     

    Test this out on one share first, and then apply similar settings to your other shares.

      I wish I knew what I had changed!

       

      I have installed the same app on a different laptop and this one works fine, with the same login, which does lead me to believe it's a more 'local' setting rather than a permissions issue for my login, but as you can probably tell I am technically out of my depth.

       

      I was hoping there would be a way to just return all settings to default, perhaps it is not that simple.
