ReadyDrop is no available

What version of ReadyNAS OS?

Mavericks is quite new and it's possible that an update to ReadyNAS Remote might be needed for compatibility.

I'm running the latest version 6.1.4.
Do I have any possibility to look into some logs created by the service?

Perhaps try filling in this form: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=51197

OK done.

I am having this same issue (ReadyDrop ... dropping offline randomly and then alerting me to its new status by a line containing a typo).

Similarly to MemphiZ, I just dropped a biggish load of files on the ReadyDrop share, and it's only uploaded about 1/7th of the contents of the files.

My ReadyDrop app seems to work for about a minute before quitting.

Setup:
ReadyNAS 102
OS 6.1.4
MacBook Pro 15 (late 2013 edition)
OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Both computer and ReadyNAS are plugged into the same hub.

I bought the ReadyNAS *today* and it has three primary jobs:

1) to be the main repository for my iTunes library that I will then stream to my other devices
2) to be the mail repository for my Photos that I will point to from a few different places
3) to be a Dropbox replacement for graphics and images that my creative director and I share

If this isn't the right solution, I'd love to hear it now before my return window closes.

Thanks!

Filled out the form. No reply yet. Tried Online Chat Support but it just kept "rechecking for a free employee" for about 25 minutes. Might try phone support next. For now I'm disappointed by netgear customer support.

steed: Did it work before Mavericks for you?

MemphiZ: I got it from Amazon yesterday, and I was already running Mavericks, so I have no frame of reference.

Judging from what I'm reading elsewhere in this forum though, it sounds like there are a bunch of problems with Mavericks.

Honestly I'm thinking of returning the ReadyNAS and trying something else. The whole ReadyNAS experience to me feels cobbled together from very different parts with no unified theory threading them together.

OK I've just received the following email:

I would like you to know that I have some words from our level 3 that the is really a compatibility issue with MAC 10.9 Maverick and we would like to apologize for that but surely they are already working on it.

I guess its wait and see then.

steed: About "cobbled together very different parts" I can only say that I can't share this opinion with you. For me netgear's ReadyNAS systems are by far the best. I had a Zyxel and it was horrible. I have a friend who has a NAS from Buffalo and he told me that he never got it to work as its supposed to be. Also I very much like the ReadyNAS OS Interface. I think its way cleaner than most NAS interfaces (especially compared to Zxyel).
Besides this Issue right now (which is hopefully fixed soon) I don't have any problems with my RN312.

MemphiZ: I was a little luckier than you were with the online chat. I got in touch with someone, but they said basically the same thing as you got in email: the ReadyNAS OS is not yet compatible with Mavericks, and he couldn't give me a ballpark time when it would. My ReadyNAS is on its way back.

In the past 3 months, I have tried products from Drobo, Synology, LaCie, and the first version of the FileTransporter. Of those, the Synology seems to have the most comprehensive feature set and most consistent user interface across all its screens, but getting it set up to do the remote access stuff was where it fell down (in my opinion, for my simple brain). I agree that the NetGear is better in a lot of ways than some of the others I mentioned, but I know myself well enough to know that the learning curve is too steep, and that I'll very likely forget how I did it after a few days /weeks when I want to come back and make a change to some setting. :-(

So which one are you going to go with then? :D
