I am pretty technologically savvy and had some instances where I would say things were not intuitive. I am still trying to figure out why the drive shows up in a Mac desktop but not my macbook. Also still trying to figure out why I can't access shared data from mobile device over WiFi. But outside of these two scenarios I'm satisfied. I switched to this from Seagate 2TB portable drive because it failed after about 2 months. So I am wary of what's to come but hopeful that this will be the solution I can rely on.

Why pay monthly when you can you have your own cloud! App is a bit slow, and you have to activate the app for it to upload when it has been inactive for a while. Usually activate it before I go to bed.

I bought this drive in order to have a centralized location to store files and be able to access them from multiple computer locations within my home network. Setup was simple, just download the setup file from the WD website and after installing the drive was available, no configuration settings to worry about. I am not using the drive to stream video but accessing and playing my stored music works without any problems for buffering.

I have customers who need real time video storage. Other drives, (who shall herein remain unnamed), fail like bricks falling from the sky! Right now in my office I have three of that other brand that need to go back because the simply could not take the pounding from over 40 cameras storing data all at once.
I can put in a WD My Cloud drive, walk away without ever looking back. What a nice feeling! I really like trouble free equipment.

I did buy this for my husband's birthday and and I am very happy for having done. We can store not only pictures, but music as well. We also can have access from our cell phones a Droid and Iphone. I really enjoy using this because we can store a lot of things using more than one user. Tnx for this!!
