WINDOWS 10 - ReadyNAS Remote not connecting
Has anyone got the ReadyNas Remote working I am using Firmware 6.4.2.
I am trying to be able to access my files on my NasBox from another computer, was told would be able to set it up but not having much joy. The only thing which I can connect to at the moment is the ReadyCloud which is not what I want.
I got this Nas box hoping I could get rid of Dropbox and access/share my files remotly.
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks

Hello SimpleeHosting,
ReadyNAS Remote is EOL, and is only for legacy units (OS4 and OS5). ReadyCloud is the replacement for it that is to be used with OS6 units. You mentioned you have FW 6.4.2, that means you are using OS6.
In case you are trying to user ReadyNAS Remote on a Windows machine, it should be ReadyCloud client for Windows
ReadyCloud FAQ might help you too if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply.
If we use readycloud do we need to allow computers to sync/update all files/folders like dropbox (which is one of our issues) before use
When I am away I have to wait for DBox to sync before I can do anything which is why we want to move away from Dbox.
Thanks
Hello SimpleeHosting,
That depends on the reason you are using ReadyCloud. It is for accessing remotely and for synching/uploading files to the NAS using ReadyCloud. Files you saved in volume of the ReadyNAS can be accessed via ReayCloud even when there is a backup job or any activity running on the NAS.
