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...
No. The NAS sees the phone as a thumb drive, but the phone can't access the NAS over USB - the standard USB drives aren't set up that way. So you have to manage the data transfer from the NAS, you can't do it from the phone.

You could put the phone's SD card (if you have one) into a USB adapter, and plug that into the NAS. Then use the web interface of the NAS to transfer data (using the phone as the control device).
That's awkward - the admin UI does work on the phone, but the pages aren't designed for small mobile devices. And the SD card in the S4 isn't easily removed.
It's easier to just use ES File Explorer, and live with the wifi transfer speeds.
