Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can use the My Cloud NAS for working documents. It may be slower than using documents on your local hard drive , or cloud storage depending on your server and if you are using it in a mirror RAID configuration.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it is a cloud server that stores your files on line so you can access those from any devices connected to the internet.
