Synching was kind of a pain, works great though
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The initial set up was a hassle, but I'm no techie, so perhaps I struggled more than most would. Once everything was connected though, it was a dream to use, and still is.

Ugh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A bit complicated. Should be a lot simpler to set up. The hard drive itself kept disconnecting. I rather stick to Google drive and external passports instead.

Good Drive, clumsy set-up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drive was difficult to set up (poor directions, though support was good). Once fully in place it works very well, accessible from Mac and Windows.

Very good shared cloud backup device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this Western Digital Personal Cloud Device to experiment before our "free" time expires at Dropbox. I will admit Dropbox does cellphone photos very well and very fast across a large platform of devices and OS. But I do not like to give up on keeping my data - My Data! This WD Personal Cloud does the trick for me. Performance is a little slower than Dropbox for pulling up uploaded photos - I'd say about twice as long as Dropbox. But once they are uploaded they reside on My device and there will be no monthly fee at this time to accomplish that. Setting up PC and Mac backups to the WD Cloud was a bit more tricky but WD offers free 30 day tech support in helping you use all that you paid for. I called once and my issue was resolved in one call with a duration of about 20-25 minutes. If you are looking for a reliable - low cost - simple setup - No Monthly Fees solution and have some patience with slower download times, then this is your solution.
