• No, it is not a USB hard drive, but you can access the files through the network using numerous protocols (Windows File Share, Apple File Share, FTP, NFS, or via the WD Cloud Interface).

• You could try (and this is a guess), attaching a drive to the usb port, define a safe point, let the safepoint run, and then ... disconnect the drive -- the onboard computer will copy everything to the safe point drive, using the USB port, and not using the network or your PC.

• Simple answer is NO: The USB port is for hanging a "slave" drive if you will, off the my cloud server. EVEN if you did hang something off here, if you mapped into it -- the network path would be for the data to first go up to your computer, and then back down to my cloud. Bottom line: you're better off copying directly from your computer to the drive. ***** The "deep answer" is maybe -- but you'd have to try SSH-ing into the root directory, and maybe there is a terminal service command that might allow for direct copies -- but that is just a guess. DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE & KNOWLEDGABLE working in a Linux root directory -- you could accidentally turn the drive into a brick.
