Not a bad little back-up device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice little NAS. Set up was fairly quick and easy, and I was able to access it from most of my devices. The PS3 "saw" it but, wasn't able to display any media. I may not have configured it properly, but that was not the purpose for my purchase. Needed something for photo back-up and this does the job!

Home "My Cloud"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Why a MY Cloud. It is in my house, with my data, my backups, my info and not out in "the Cloud" for others to hack at. The 2T cloud holds a lot of info. I have 3 computers on my wired and 2 on wifi. I have not tried remote access (this will be important) I have just started "playing" with this and have not put it through any stress test. I did hook up my 1t WD Passport to it and it was seen by the system. I keep my movies on the passport.. I have a WD wifi streaming box on my TV. This gives me instant access to over 500 movies from the passport. DLNA works fine. My Rocu sees the device through it's DLNA but is unable to play a lots of the formats of the videos. I have access to all data from all computers. The big test will be remote access (besides teaching the wife how to get access) So far it seems like a nice product.

Great alternative for storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did exactly what we needed. Allowed me and my wife to move pics, and anything else we needed to free up space on our mobile devises and can still get to it through the mycloud app! Would highly recommend!

Good but pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm thrilled to have 2TB of personal cloud space. But, it was not sorted by firm build standards. The USB and the ethernet cord are way too near and Difficult to connect. The wireless function is not even available on my Model(Id have to shell out more money for that). The iPhone app is also having limited features and extension support is barely for a few.

Great External Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this for my wife. Was a bit hard to navigate in the beginning when trying to transfer from a hand held device but she managed to figure it out. It has been easy to use and she loves it.

Great cloud storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The My Cloud is performing nicely. I have set up my videos and they are playing well. One thing is my Amazon Kindle Fire can not access the My Cloud, but that is an Amazon issue not a WD issue.

Works well for the most part
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really do love this Hard drive as I go on deployments and I can access movies and pictures while overseas. The only problem I have with it is trying to link it to my smart TV. I got it working for a while but now my tv doesn't doesn't detect any media on the drive. I know it's not the tv because it links up with all my other devices and computers just fine. Other than that great for accessing your media when you're gone.

Easy to use. Works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WD My Cloud is one of few computing devices that are easy to set up, especially considering this is a network storage device. It also performed very well. With its gigabit connection data write speed is very comparable to internal disks. It has been very stable for me. I never have situation that it would disappear from the network as some people reported. Sleep and wake functions also work well. It only takes a few seconds to wake up. Overall very satisfied.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched from using iCloud yo the my cloud and I absolutely love it! It does everything as advertise plus and easy setup. Still trying to figure out how to set passwords though for the public folder. Other than that I'm pleased. I even bought another as a Christmas gift.

Very good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent capability for someone like me that doesn't use "the cloud." This device lets me access pictures stored at home from anywhere in the world. I can also upload my pics from my idevices from anywhere to this hard drive. That frees up space on my idevices so I can take more pics while still out-of-town
