Select the shared folders you want to access and click the OK button.
Your shared folders open in Finder.

You can now drag and drop files between your Mac and your ReadyNAS system as though you were
on the ReadyNAS LAN.

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:

Enable ReadyNAS Remote on your ReadyNAS storage system.
See 

 on page 73.

Enable ReadyDROP on your ReadyNAS storage system.
See 

 on page 79.

Grant access to ReadyNAS Remote users.
See 

 on page 74.

Install ReadyNAS Remote on your remote devices.
See 

 on page 76.

Manage your ReadyDROP folder using the ReadyDROP portal or from a ReadyDROP-enabled device.
See 

 on page 80 and 

 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.

ReadyDROP uses ReadyNAS Remote technology. To use ReadyDROP, you must first set up ReadyNAS
Remote (see 

 on page 72.)
