I have seen some misinformation on the forums here and, since I am a Symform supporter, I just want to take a moment to correct the record. Symform still supports ReadyNAS devices and works well on OS6, however the app is no longer available through the App Store like it was in older versions of the OS. I'm not sure what happened to the Netgear/Symform partnership, but if you're interested in using the software, here's how you can do so.
Once you have the Symform.deb saved on your PC, log in to your ReadyNAS admin page. Go to the Apps tab, find the "Upload" button and direct it to your Symform.deb file. It will take a moment to install, and then it will appear alongside your other installed apps. From there, it takes a moment to configure which files to sync and how much space to contribute. As long as your router supports uPNP, everything should be automated from there. It's a hands off and totally free unlimited backup solution.
Re: Symform still lives for OS6 (ARM and Intel boxes)
Looks neat (never heard of it before) but there's nowhere on their forums or website to download a deb package to install. Where exactly did you grab yours from and is there only an ARM version or is there an x86 version as well?
Re: Symform still lives for OS6 (ARM and Intel boxes)
Hey there! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I wanted to have time to write you a helpful reply.
The link I included above goes directly to the download page for the latest ARM installation file. However, I just checked it again and you're right. It doesn't take you to a .deb file, it goes to a .bin (which doesn't do anything). I am including links below for OS6 users that go to the .deb files. I'm not sure why that BIN file is posted at all.
These link DIRECTLY to the files, so only click the one that is applicable to you. This will make things as easy as possible for everyone, until the links get outdated 😜
