ZeroTier as a ReadyCloud replacement.
Well, a big part of a replacement, anyway. With ReadyCloud going away, a lot of folks are going to be looking for a replacement in order to have remote access to their ReadyNAS, I have been using...

NextCloud and OwnCloud are excellent for Google drive like file sharing. Unfortunately, the RNXTRAS site which used to have ReadyNAS-specific versions of those available for a small price is no more. The remnants of the site point to his repository of the final versions he created, but I don't really see anything there on how to use it. I find no .deb files that can be downloaded.
Honestly, I think you'd be better off running one of those on an always-on PC (which needn't be very powerful), Raspberry Pi, etc. and then using the NAS for it's storage. At some point, I'll likely convert to this myself instead of OwnCloud on a NAS I currently use for this purpose.
If you were to compile one yourself, you'd have to deal with the back-ports of dependencies (which is one of the reason he stopped development) as well as insuring it is configured so as not to fill the OS partition.
