    Saving documents to my own personal cloud is fantastic. You can also add other storage devices via USB which is a plus.

    I took nearly a week to get the backup to work. I could transfer files and folders but not an entire backup. For initial backup used a wired connection then setup incremental from there. Worked flawlessly across 5 devices since I took the time to read the setup guide

    I have only been using the MyCloud external hard drive for a few weeks now, but so far so good. Set up was easy, basically plug and play. Moving files was easy. The main benefit to me is the ability to access my files remotely, and I have not yet had a chance to do that.

    Multiple users have followed the same directions to setup, but some have had issues, don't know if it is a Windows 8.1 issue or not. I don't like that the administrator of the drive (me) has to use my credentials on each user's computer to install the software. I have an out of state client that I will have to give the admin password to install the software and get the access to the drive. Not a huge deal, I can give them a temp password and then change it, but it is very inconvenient. But overall, for the capabilities it has, it is worth the money. The user interface is easy, easy to add users and share files, permissions is easy as well.

    The only thing that could be add to this product is a usb data transmission option, the data transmission through the modem was slow and I was in need to save a lot of information. However now is working really good and I can save and access to my data from anywhere.
