RN626X: Amazon S3 cloud sync switches off, gives error: Unauthorized. It could be invalid user...
I began cloud back service with Backblaze following the Netgear article on how to sync with Amazon S3 and Backblaze's article on how to use ReadyNAS with Backblaze through the Amazon S3 API. The NAS was syncing but stopped the next day giving the error: "Unauthorized. It could be invalid user account credential or the app is not allowed to access cloud drive. Stopped syncing with Amazon S3." Afterwards it switches the Amazon API off.
How can I get my ReadyNAS 626X to properly sync and upload to Backblaze B2 cloud backup through the Amazon S3 API?
Hi MichaelWDL
As discussed on our private message, it looks like the issue is related to the storage cap on your Amazon S3.

Hi MichaelWDL,
Welcome to the Community!
May I know the current firmware of your RN626X? Have you tried leaving and rejoining the NAS to the Amazon S3 and see if you will still get the same error message?

Hello. The firmware I'm on is 6.10.3
I've tried logging out of and rebooting the NAS as well as switching Amazon S3 to off and then back to on. The result is the same. I get that same error.

Hi MichaelWDL,
Can you download the NAS system logs then send it over via private message? You may upload it to a file-sharing site then send me the download link. We will check what is causing the error.
