Since June 18 cannot map NAS as network drive to Windows 10

SOLVED
At least as a workaround this works, until there is an update/patch from Netgear available to make readynas compatible with Windows 10 credential Manager:
1- Log in the local ReadyNAS via the web browser "https://192.168.1.xx/admin/" and enter your password.
2- Click on the "Shares" on the top grey banner
3- Click on the Gear icon to the right of the folder(s) ("/data", etc.) that needs to be mapped/mounted and select setting.
4- Select Network Access on the top grey banner for the folder.
5- select (checkmark) the "allow anonymous access"
6- Click Apply
You are now all set to map NAS as a network location or drive in Windows 10
On Win 10 you should now be able to use the file explorer, go to "This PC", select Computer from the top file explorer menu, and click "map network drive" or "add a network location". You can then either use the windows network map to navigate to the network drive and assign it to a letter drive ("X:, Y:, Z:" etc.) or you can type the ip address of the NAS followed by the shared folder name ("//192.168.1.xx/data") to map it.

Update: Netgear admin team worked with me and after identifying the fact that i have two seperate readycloud accounts, they attributed the issue to SMB aliases. As a temporary workaround they removed the aliases. Temporary because it will be overwritten by config changes done in the GUI. Netgear admin will work with the Samba team on getting a real fix soon.
