How to restrict access clouduser to external diskdrive connected to ReadNas

I recently purchased a Netgear ReadyNas 212. I've added two 4Tb disks inside and one external disk in a USB port. I added a cloud-user with account and want the cloud-user to restrict access to the external disk. When using admin-count on my ReadyNas and selecting shares for the external device the clouduser account doesn't have read-only access AND doesn't have read-write access, but when I use the Readycload-app in my phone using the account, i still can access the external disk.

 

How can I restrict cloud-users from accessing my external disks that are connected to my ReadyNas?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Hj1407,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

By default, only the ReadyCLOUD admin account (This is the account you used in joining the NAS to ReadyCLOUD) has full access to all of the shared folders, including the external drive. Other ReadyCLOUD users will only gain access to the folders, and the external drive once they get an invitation from the admin account. You may check this article for more information about this.
