![]() The full version of the application costs a little money, but I strongly recommend that you buy it. FolderSync doesn’t support Owncloud per se, but Owncloud uses WebDAV, which is supported by FolderSync. A better alternative might be FolderSync, an excellent application that let’s you synchronize files on your Android phone with Owncloud. If you are using an Android phone, there’s an official Android client as well, but it’s not exactly getting great reviews. To sync files to and from Owncloud, simply download and install one of the sync clients. Warning: The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to factory settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and reformats the disk to X-RAID2. Please note the following, however, copied from NETGEAR’s factory reset instructions: It’s not necessary to do a factory reset to get everything to work, but you’re having problems and you want to do the same, have a look here for instructions on how to perform a factory reset. I did everything described above after having performed a factory reset of the NAS. If you have the same problem, you simply have to use another browser to log in.Īnd there you have it, your very own, private cloud storage service. This is unbelievably frustrating, but so far I’ve not been able to solve it. Note: After the Owncloud installation wizard completes, I’m not able to log on with Firefox, for some strange reason. Go to (replace the IP address with the IP address of your own ReadyNAS unit) and follow the simple installation process. When the installation process eventually finishes, the last step is to log in to Owncloud.This will install a bunch of packages and might take a while depending on your internet connection. Install Owncloud with the following command: apt-get install owncloud.Log in as root using the same password as the admin account you used to log in to the web site in the previous step. The next step is to connect to the NAS device using SSH.Personally, I’ve turned off everything except for HTTP, HTTPS and SSH, but if you are using any of the other enabled services, you should of course keep them enabled. Log in to the ReadyNAS administration web site with your admin account, go to System -> Settings, and enable SSH. First we have to configure the NAS unit to accept SSH connections if you haven’t done this already.I’m assuming that you’ve completed all the steps required to configure your ReadyNAS unit and that it’s connected to your LAN, and that you have installed the latest version of the firmware. The only prerequisite is that your ReadyNAS device has version 6 of the firmware installed. The tutorial below has been tested on a NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102 and a NETGEAR ReadyNAS 312, and it’s very likely that you can follow this guide to accomplish exactly the same on other ReadyNAS versions as well. In this entry, I’ll cover how you connect to your ReadyNAS device over SSH with root privileges, how you install and configure Owncloud and you set up your Android device to synchronize files with your new Owncloud account. ![]() But to really get things running, you’ll have to tinker a little bit more with the NAS box. In the previous entry in the PRISM Break series, I looked at how to set up a NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102 as a basic replacement for your current, commercial, privacy-repellant, cloud storage needs. I recommend that you install Nextcloud instead, and you can follow this simple step-by-step guide that explains how it’s done. Please note that this guide will install a very old version of ownCloud.
