Use ReadyDROP

ReadyDROP allows you to synchronize files in real time between your ReadyNAS storage system and ReadyDROP-enabled remote devices. Any files that you put in a ReadyDROP folder on your ReadyNAS system or on ReadyDROP-enabled remote devices are synchronized automatically, in the background, as long as the devices have Internet access. Changes are synchronized to all of your ReadyDROP folders in the background, in real time.

Using ReadyDROP involves these high-level steps:

1.Enable ReadyNAS Remote on your ReadyNAS storage system. See Enable ReadyNAS Remote on page 73.

2.Enable ReadyDROP on your ReadyNAS storage system. See Enable ReadyDROP on page 79.

3.Grant access to ReadyNAS Remote users.

See Add ReadyNAS Remote Users on page 74.

4.Install ReadyNAS Remote on your remote devices.

5.Manage your ReadyDROP folder using the ReadyDROP portal or from a ReadyDROP-enabled device. See Manage Files Using the ReadyDROP Portal on page 80 and Manage ReadyDROP Files from a ReadyDROP-Enabled Device on page 81.

After you follow these steps, your ReadyNAS system and your remote devices have ReadyDROP folders that begin to sync immediately in real time as long as the devices have Internet access. When you add, delete, or edit files in the ReadyDROP folder on your ReadyNAS system, the changes are made in the ReadyDROP folder on all remote devices. When you add, delete, or edit files in the ReadyDROP folder on a remote device, the changes are made in the ReadyDROP folder on your ReadyNAS system and any other remote devices.
