Access Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sometimes there are issues accessing the drive remotely. When this happens, the product has to be reset in order for info retrieval to be possible. If no one is at home and you need access, you're outta luck!

Great product. No issues yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this product as a backup drive and to free up some space on my computer. It has been great for backing up, but the firmware being up-to-date makes a difference. I was told by tech support to leave the auto updates off, but twice I had the drive tell me it needed to start a completely new backup. However, after updating the firmware it resolved the issue. Love having all my photos, videos, and other documents easily accessible from any computer or from my phone. I did add my old hard drive to backup the MyCloud as a precaution, and would recommend doing the same if you can, but have not had any issues so far.

Never Got It Installed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never got the drive installed. I assumed when told by the best buy associate and online research that the drive was wireless, it would work when attached to a wireless signal. What both failed to mention was that it had to be connected to the wireless router via an Ethernet cable. I don't fault the product. I fault the unnamed Best Buy associate and myself for being an incompetent and missing it, respectively.

Plenty of Storage but hard to figure out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is what it says it is but not sure why its blocking internet access. Once installed on one laptop it started not letting me get to many websites. No support or instructions included to diagnose problems. Gonna need more than a few minutes to set up all pc's

Good product but a little confusing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hoping this would be as simple as using Dropbox to where I could literally drag and drop files onto the icon, but it seems to be not quite as simple. Otherwise seems like a good product.

Very handy to have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its pretty good for its price range, but on a network that is more then capable of handling 1080p 60fps game streaming, its really slow. After a few hours of loading all my blue ray movies to it, it get extremely high temperatures from it.
