Use ReadyNAS Remote
ReadyNAS Remote is a web-based service that allows you to drag and drop files between
your ReadyNAS system and your Windows or Mac computer using the SMB file-sharing
protocol. All file permissions and shared folder security settings are retained as if you were
on your LAN. All data is encrypted so that it is transmitted securely.
ReadyNAS Remote uses preinstalled software on your ReadyNAS system and a small
software program for your Windows or Mac computer.
Using ReadyDROP involves these high-level steps:
1. Enable ReadyNAS Remote on your ReadyNAS storage system. (See Enable
ReadyNAS Remote on page 69.)
2. Grant access to Cloud users. (See Add Cloud Users on page 148.)
3. Install ReadyNAS Remote client software on your computer. (See Install the ReadyNAS
Remote Client on Remote Devices on page 71.)
4. Access your shared folders. (See Access Shared Folders Using ReadyNAS Remote on
page 72.)
