    It's a nice device. Does what it promises. I had to reboot it a few times already. Not sure if that is due to my router or due to the mycloud.

    After a defective unit, i haven't had an issue with it. The apps on android could have more functionality but otherwise I can't find fault with it.

    We bought this because the sales person was telling us how easy it is to connect to your computer and it is suppose to be wireless and everything. We can't get it to connect to my computer. I don't know if it does not work with Windows 10 or what the problem is. We have researched on line and have contacted the support people - still can't get it to recognize my computer. Latest and greatest technology isn't always the best.

    We purchased this when our other external crashed. We have enjoyed this so much. The cloud streaming feature has helped us enjoy all our movies, music and photos anywhere! Definitely worth the purchase

    Not Exactly What I Needed

    When I read "External Hard Drive", I am thinking, "Great, a way to extend my current hard drive, off loading some lesser-used files". But what this device appears to me is an all-or-nothing approach to back up my entire hard drive. I'm not comfortable taking all my files off the drive and hoping I can get them back. Still trying to figure out how to use this device to get the desired results.

    I get about 100Mbytes/Sec when I connect directly to My Cloud through Ethernet. With WIFI, I get only about 6Megabits. Still OK. Very easy to use software interface. Added plus, easy network access to USB 3.0 port

    We are a new start up company. very small, and although we have networking/file sharing needs, we currently have no budget or room to put up a rack server. This product seems to be the perfect transitional device as we begin to grow.

    This device is difficult to navigate. WD is lacking I customer support. I am finding it very difficult to sync everything together. I bought it to store photos of my two young children so I could erase the off my phone. However, I am hesitant to erase them because I am afraid of whether or not there are stored in they cloud. I guess this is a good device for a more advanced user.

    I really wanted this to be the answer to all my photos and videos. From my Samsung phone- awesome. No issues. But from my iPad it would rename my files with WD_XXX. No date incorporated into the file name.Not really WDs fault, just another example of Apple not wanting to be compatible with anything other than Apple.

    The documentation is meager and the drive was difficult to set up. Regardless, it seems to be a good product.
