Thank you for your reply ! I'm very happy to hear that. I Imagine that I would need to have readycloud installed on my end so I can send the link to the file or folder to my friend via email right?
Was not able to see the picture you inserted in you last post but the way to share a folder or file with someone is rather straight forward.
There are 2 ways to share with someone :
1- Having you send the other person an invite for them to create a ReadyCloud ID so that they can access the information.
2- Send them an email with the Link to the file or folder that you wish to share with them. This is my favorite way of doing it is a rather simple way for the other person to access the information without making the go through the trouble of creating a ReadyCloud account.
First you need to create a ReadyCloud account for yourself IF you haven't done so already. Once you have your account then log-in via webbrowser to the RadyCloud Portal(readycloud.netgear.com/). Once inside you should be able to see all the folders and files that are in your ReadyNas, then simply right click on the folder or file you wish to share and you will get a little pop-up windows with these options : Browse, Recover, Snapshot, Share and Delete.
Select the Share option. and another windows opens up displaying the 2 share options that I mentioned before: Share as Link and Full Folder access. As I mentioned before, I prefer the first option since it is the easiest way to share without forcing the other person to go through the hassle of creating a ReadyNas account plus in my particular case, I don't wish that the other person has full folder access to the data I wish to share with them.
Once you select share as link, click next and in this new windows you can select if you wish to have the file/folder password protected so that when the other person receives the link they would have to type in a password to access the information, you also can select when the link will expire (either by a particular date or you can also have the link expire after the person downloads the information x amount of times).
After setting up the options mentioned before, just hit the generate button and a new window will come up showing the newly created link. Simply copy the link and then paste it onto the email that you will be sending to the person with whom you wish to share the file/folder with.
I have done it a few times and it has worked perfectly.
Hope that is of some help to you and again, sorry for the late response.
PS- I forgot to mention that in the ReadyCloud Portal, if you go to the Manage screen you can see all the links that you are sharing, when they will expire, etc. You can also terminate or delete a link at any moment.
