Bad idea.  Browsers don't support secure FTP.  It's safe if you are accessing via a VPN, but not over the open internet.  User names and passwords are sent as clear text with normal FTP, so hackers who can see the traffic can access your NAS using those credentials.  FTPS eliminates that vulnerability.

As for my upload speed its 1-2Mbps

That's enough for direct streaming of music and some SD video content, but not enough for anything else.  Typical 720p movies need 3-6 Mbps; 1080p videos often need 8 Mbps or more.

Options include 

• transcoding movies off-line to fit your internet bandwidth (probably keeping the higher quality versions for local viewing)
• upgrading your internet service to get a faster upload
• upgrading the NAS to a more powerful model that can do real-time transcoding
• hosting the plex server on a PC that can do real-time transcoding, keeping the content on the NAS

AICloud Web uses port 443.

AiCloud content streaming uses port 8082

You can only forward an internet port to one device.  If you are using 443 (and 8082) for AiCloud, then you can't use them with the ReadyNAS.  If you aren't using AiCloud, then the ports it needs aren't relevant.

FWIW, port 443 is the standard port for https.  Lots of stuff uses it - which isn't a problem when you are connecting outbound from your home network.  But inbound you can only forward port 443 to one device.  I told you how to overcome that in the previous posts.
