Why is'nt possible to change the working Dir for the Sync-Folder?
Ich work with two Disk system on an small SSD und Data on an big HDD. Ich want to syncronize about 60GB from 3 devices. It could only work if it is possible to change the Sync-Folder to HDD.
It was an Issue cince over two years in some Threads, but no reaction from the development.
I apologize but you may need to provide more information about the concern you are raising. Please post a screenshot of what you are referring to when you said Sync-Folder, is this a Backup Job? Also, include the model number and firmware version of your ReadyNAS.

Same for me. My computer has a system disk and a data disk, and i would like to sync several folders from the data disk.
But when i start to choose a folder to sync with ReadyCloud, the only option i get is to sync folders from my system disk. How do i get ReadyCloud to allow me syncing folders from an internal disk which is NOT the system disk?
Have you tried creating a symbolic link in your user directory that points to the directory you want to sync? I've suggested this several times for this issue, but I've not heard from anyone whether it worked or not. I don't use ReadyCloud at all, so I can't try it myself, but symlinks are often a solution for software that cannot see beyond a certain scope. More often, it's mapped drives, but you can symlink to any file or directory.
I am using Mac OS X. For creating symbolic links, i would need to disable System Integrity Protection, which i absolutely don't want to. I think Netgear should write a ReadyCloud update and embed the possibility to sync any folder on any hard drive.
I apologize if you need a work around regarding this matter. It might be best to post your request on our Idea Exchange for ReadyNAS.
Adding kudos to the ideas will help as development team will be reviewing the post that has the most kudos for considering it to add to the product's future functionality.
Sorry, but i am not part of the Netgear Develper Team, so i don't see why i should keep posting my inputs over and over again. If Netgear is not able to provide such simple and needed features as free choice of sync folders, i will stick with another manufacturer, simple as that.

And, unfortunately, it does not appear that the development team regularly participates in the forums, which is why posting it to the Idea Exchange is recommended. Apparently, they do at least look there.
Should it be up to us, the users, to point out every bone-headed move the development team makes? Intentionally restricting sync to just the system drive certainly qualifies in my book as bone-headed! No, they need somebody who actually understands their customers' needs who actually works for them. Someone who understands that we want substance over flash. Someone who understands that animated pictures of fans in the UI are just silly wastes of space, not "modern". But since they seem not to, our choices are try and get them to see the error of their ways or move elsewhere.
