ReadyNAS OS 6.4 is over a virtual private network (VPN) between your computer and the ReadyNAS system. After what might be a few minutes, the app window lists directories commonly chosen to be backed up. 6. If desired, unselect any or all of the default folders. After this initial configuration, you can add other folders to the backup. 7. Select the Apply button to confirm your selections. The selected files and folders are backed up to your ReadyNAS. When files change on the computer, the ReadyCLOUD app synchs the changes to your ReadyNAS. Note From ReadyCLOUD, you can invite additional users to read and change these files. File Synchronization Across Computers You can keep files synchronized across multiple Windows computers and Mac computers over a network using the ReadyCLOUD desktop app on the computers and your ReadyNAS. As with services such as Dropbox, synchronized copies of files can reside on multiple Windows computers and Mac computers and on your ReadyNAS. As is not the case with such services, your data is not stored in the cloud. Because the data is stored on your ReadyNAS, you can store as much data as will fit in the space on your computers and ReadyNAS. You can extend and revoke access permission to other users with ReadyCLOUD accounts. On your ReadyNAS, select Cloud > ReadyCLOUD > Users to invite and manage user access, or visit the Manage window of the ReadyCLOUD website. Work on Files Across Windows Computers and Mac Computers Using ReadyNAS You can share files with Windows computers and Mac computers over a network using your ReadyNAS and the ReadyCLOUD app on the computers. The ReadyNAS and the ReadyCLOUD app keep the local copies in synch. No information is stored in the cloud. This procedure requires that you created a ReadyCLOUD account and linked your ReadyNAS to it. You first install the ReadyCLOUD app on your computer and choose which directories are backed up to the ReadyNAS, and then on the ReadyNAS you invite other ReadyCLOUD users to share files you select.
