ReadyCloud sync app not syncing on Windows 10 computer
I installed the ReadyCloud App for Backup and Sync on my Windows 10 PC. I selected a PC folder to be backed up to my NAS and then selected Sync now in the app. After indexing, it appeared to backup everything in the folder to a new share it created on the NAS. However, I have added new files to the folder on my PC and they are not showing up in the NAS share. The app shows a two way arrow on the share and a Synchronized label. I have also added files to the NAS share and they are not showing up in the PC folder.
There also does not appear to be a way to see what PC folder the NAS share is linked to in case you want to reverify linkage.
Thanks for any assistance.

After doing a lot of searching, it appears that the ReadyNAS Backup and Sync app will create a new folder under the user's account folder for syncing to a selected folder on the NAS. What I wanted to do is sync an existing PC folder to a folder on the NAS, not create a new one. Since I cannot do this, I will not be using the ReadyNAS app. Instead, I will use the FreeFileSync program.
It would certainly be desirable for Netgear to add an option to allow you to sync to specific PC folders instead of greating a new folder.

I agree (and you aren't the first person to ask for that).
