Select the Download ReadyCLOUD App button.
Your browser download wizard opens.
4.
Down-load and run the ReadyCLOUD installation app.
The ReadyCLOUD app window opens. The app opens a virtual private network (VPN) connection
directly between your computer and your ReadyNAS. After what might be a few minutes, the app
window lists directories commonly chosen to be backed up.
5.
If desired, unselect any or all of the default folders.
After this initial configuration, you can add other folders to the backup.
6.
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.
From ReadyCLOUD, you can invite additional users to read and change these files.
Note:
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.
