ok i see, so once they discontinue the ios APP i wont beable to have my photos sync to my readyNAS folders. i was using it to sync from my phone to ReadyNAS then from my NAS i had google drive sync my folder on my NAS so i would have multiple backups PHONE>NAS>GOOGLEDRIVE.
im sure there are other IOS apps that can access my NAS out side the home network? yeah? like SMB? or FTP? what would be the best method for syncing my iphone photos to my NAS? hmmm
maybe the best solution would be to use google drive on my phone and manually add my photos there then have my ReadyNAS sync the googledrive photo folder to my NAS>?
or use google photos on the phone to upload there.. (i dont like google photos much tho) and you cant sync from google photos to google drive anymore.
Iphones are so limited, if i still had my Samsung i would have many other options via more versatile apps.
so even if i cant migrate my readycloud account with my registered NAS serial number over to a netgear account, will that hinder me down the road?

Registration only gets you access to support, which you won't get anyway.
You have an Ultra 6,which Netgear stopped manufacturing back in 2013 - so long out of support. On top of that, you converted it to OS-6 - which Netgear always said was unsupported. (still the best option - my own Pro 6 has been been converted).
If you are using the home folder in your readycloud account you will need to copy that data into a share (or maybe a home folder for a local account).

Resilio Sync will backup your photos from an iPhone when away from home - though I've only used that to back them up to a Windows PC, and haven't tried using the app on the NAS. FWIW, the apps aren't well maintained, so personally I don't use them.
For general remote access from your phone or PC, you can
get a router with OpenVPN or a similar VPN, and install the needed (free) VPN client on the phone and/or PC.
install ZeroTier on the NAS and similarly use the free client on the phone and/or PC
I use (1) myself, @Sandshark uses (2) because it fits his usage better. If you are just wanting to access the NAS remotely from a phone or PC, either will work. Once the VPN is connected, you use the phone just as you would at home. The Files app will connect to the NAS, etc.
Alternatively, you could use FTPS (setting up the NAS to reject unencrypted FTP), and set up port forwarding in the router. FileZilla is a good free client for PC/Mac. I haven't used FTPS on my iphone (at least not recently), so I'm not sure if the Files app in iOS will work with it or not. But there are other clients you could use, including FileZilla Pro.
Don't use SMB over the internet with port forwarding though.

I ended up using ESfileExplorer on IOS then linking my google drive to it and my NAS Cloud app syncs from the selected folders from google drive and uploads them to my NAS Photo Folder.
i couldn't get ESfileExplorer to connect to FTP or webdav or SMB. on and off the home network. but google drive worked on wifi and 4G.
ESfileExplorer isn't too aesthetically pleasing but it works. i might try out some other iso apps.. but from memory they are all fairly bad. i used to love using FX File Explorer for Android, it had many options and they all worked. and it was pleasing on the eyes.
will i ever need to register my NAS serial number again? if they bring out a new app? do you think ill need to have it registered at all on netgears webpage? its only really useful for free tech support from my understanding?

ill take a look in to the methods and app suggestions you mentioned when i an be bothered to learn the ins and outs of the capability's and extra features your way might have..
when you mentioned saving files in the home folder, i don't use it at all for storing files on my NAS but i did take a look and noticed that emby had folders and "configs" "meta" etc located there. would that be affected after the closing down of readycloud?

Not something I've tried, so good to know that is an option.

emby must have created a local user account when you installed it. The admin account is also local. So nothing there will change when ReadyCloud shuts down.
The email account is the only one that will be affected - you won't be able to use that account when the service shuts down (or if you leave ReadyCloud before then).

i gave Resilio Sync a go and its woo much going on for me to figure it out, for now ill stick to the easy way i mentioned before,
now emby does have its paths located here.
Paths
Cache:
/home/emby/cache
Logs:
/home/emby/logs
Metadata:
/home/emby/metadata
Transcoding temporary files:
/home/emby/transcoding-temp
i think I'm going to just wait it out and see what happens, make a copy of the emby folder just incase, its a little overwhelming ATM and i dont want to break anything. ohh well its only meta data and user preferences, my movies etc will be safe at bests. good night, thanks again for your time

PS: i also use google remote desktop if i ever need to use my pc from home. it can also mirror to friends tvs or i can use it when im away from home to basically control my pc on the phone, (check ups on torrents P2P programs etc) just thought you might wanna know about that if you ever need to use your pc on your phone for other things besides file browser APPS.

My applications are all installed on a Windows PC, and not on the NAS. So remote desktop is something I use quite a bit (even when home).
FWIW, I've found that in some places the services are blocked, so it is handy to have more than one way to do what I want. So I also have some similar tools for remote desktop - in particular, rdp (built into Windows Professional), and NoMachine. I used to use the free version of TeamViewer, but found that they periodically shut off the free version and want me to pay (and their subscription price is quite high).
Google Desktop (and TeamViewer) will run from anywhere w/o a VPN, I use the other tools only with the VPN.
