A:Answer This is not the case. I am accessing my files remotely with no problems both from a cell phone and other computers over the internet. It works great for this purpose. You DO NOT need a drop box for any of this.
My problem with the unit is that by having this remote functionality turned on, the unit does not sleep and the motor runs continuously. WD Tech support told me that if remote access is turned on, the unit has to run continuously. This is a cloud killer for me. The unit will not last if it never stops spinning and working. But, by turning this functionality off, you now have just an over priced and slow (due to wireless transfer of data) storage device. It's a no go in my opinion. If you haven't purchased this, I recommend you stick with a traditional external storage drive. In my opinion, this unit was not ready for marketing as this is a major flaw.
