GoodSync with WD error message File monitoring not connected

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud EX2

I am using GoodSync for Mac with a WD My Cloud Ultra EX2. Recently, while trying to run a backup job from a MacBook to the WD, I am getting an error message “R: File Monitoring: not connected” and the job does not run. I reached out to GoodSync and they told me to ensure that my WD credentials are in place. Nowhere can I find where to enter or even check my “credentials” in WD or GoodSync. Any ideas would be very helpful!

Sadly, this has nothing to do with my question.

I’m curious about the solution here, but there’s a twist—I’m trying to access my MyCloud device remotely, as I’m not connected to the same network. I need to treat it as a remote device.
