ReadyNAS 312, 2 2TB Toshiba HDD; Nighthawk N6900 Router
I'm running into a strange issue with remote file access. I can see and open/download etc. my files from my LAN via my MacBook Pro... Also, can log on to LAN with my iOS devices and can view, download etc. my files with no problem. But, when on another network, cellular or otherwise, I can log in to the NAS, then open up the Folder structure (albeit very slow to get to the root folder with my files initially), then can go to and see the folder structure of multiple subfolders, but, I cannot view the individual files. When clicked or tapped on, they show the file, file name as if it's loading, but the line with the blue progress indicator, never moves and the file is never viewable. Using Firmware 6.9.5. See attachment for example of iOS screen. Help please?! Don't know what to do and am somewhat of a novice at this... Thanks!

Seems the DNS was pointing to the wrong/older io servers caused the issue. IT has fixed it. Please try again.

Re: Ready NAS Can't Open Files Remotely
Multiple users have been having this problem since this weekend. I posed in the ReadyCloud group about this several times, but no one from the company seems to be paying attention. Cloud service is useless if it cannot be relied upon.

If that is the case, then it's time I move on to another NAS... can't have such reliability issues when I rely on this remotely. Thanks for your comment. Nice to know I'm not the only one though....

The alternatives to ReadyCloud are straightforward to implement and free - so personally it's not a reason for me to switch to a different NAS. If all you want is remote file access, you can also use FTPS.
I've found the NAS itself to be very reliable. My decision to abandon the Netgear VPN was made years ago (back when it was ReadyNAS Remote).

Hi StephenB,

OpenVPN is free, and many Nighthawk routers (and Orbi) have it built in.
ZeroTier is free, and can be installed on your NAS.
OwnCloud and NextCloud are essentially free (very small one-time cost for a ReadyNAS app from https://rnxtras.com/readynas-os6-x86 )
You can also use the built-in FTP server in the NAS (setting it up to require FTPS - which is encrypted).
Many of these options also need DDNS. Nighthawks and Orbi have a built-in free DDNS option. NoIP.com also offers a free DDNS service.
