Shares, Where am I going wrong.

Obviously I can get into the Share via my admin login, but the idea behind all this is that I have just spent 4 weeks in Perth W.A. with my 3 daughters, 2 of which live in Australia, the other lives here in the UK.

Well, if http is enabled for the share (not just enabled in system->settings) then  http://1XX.XXX.X.XX/Perth_Photos should show it.

Looking again at your screenshot, it appears to be doing that (at least showing folders in the share), so I am unclear on what your problem actually is.  If you click on the subfolder links you should see the photos in them. However, you really want remote access to the NAS over the internet, which isn't the same as just enabling http.  You'd also need to forward ports in your browser and set up DDNS. And http isn't a secure way to access the NAS remotely, so I recommend using a different approach.

If this is a one-time project, you could just use cloud storage like Google Drive.   Google offers 15 GB of free cloud storage (including gmail storage if you use that), and the family downloads wouldn't be limited by your ISP upload speed. If you need more storage, you can temporarily upgrade it for a small monthly fee - then remove the photos and go back to the free account when you are done.  You can sync Perth_Photos to your google drive using a built-in ReadyNAS cloud app (though I'd probably upload the photos from a PC myself).  

If this is longer-term, then you might want to consider ReadyCloud.  You'd create accounts for the family, and they'd use those to access the photos.  They can access them from a browser, or they can install the ReadyCloud app and use file explorer.  There are a couple of other options (ZeroTier and FTPS/FileZilla), but they are a bit more work to set up.
