open vpn ya thats in my router as well ,havent picked a vpn yet i want to go with but... how does that give access to your files insted of readycloud or such like app
You install OpenVPN on your device (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac), and configure the VPN - Netgear routers give you downloads for the specific configs.
Then you start the VPN on your device, and you have full access to your home network - NAS, printers, whatever.
This is a bit different from using a VPN tunnel to access the internet (for privacy). You are using the VPN to give you secure access to your home network.
got ya.. never used it.. might have to try i do like readycloud so we will see.
i think i am going to make a share for each user
even tho i think i will be ok with homes
is there a way to hide a share if the user cant read or wright to it on ready cloud like i see for smb+ has on there app. i do see in the share "hide this folder" under network access under smb but not sure what is the point?
"hide this share" will block it from showing up when you enter \\nas-ip-address or \\nas-name in windows explorer. You can still access it if you enter \\nas-name\share-name. Also, you can set up file explorer to show hidden folders.
got ya.. sp hides stuff from people who dont know what there doing..
well i got what i nead i think waiting for the last tb of files to move over to the new cloud and i am going to try to follow one of your other post about making a 4.2 nas to os6
