Transferring files from phone
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. I noticed that my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 has regular USB ports on the back. I connected my phone to one, and my phone is getting charged from it, but...
Frontview is the name of NAS admin web page - https://nasname/admin (or https://nasipaddr/admin)
You will need some control device if you want to transfer data to the phone - you can't do it from the NAS directly because it has no keyboard/mouse/display.
The phone needs to be connected to act as a USB thumb drive (which is an option on the unrooted galaxy - I also have an S4). But I don't think you can use the phone itself as a control device when you have it in that operating mode. Do you have anything else (a tablet perhaps?)
