    WD CLOUD is best to store data and can be accessed from any device.

    It was fairly easy to setup, however I found some of the programs it installed on my computer were unnecessary. I really like that it is connected to my network so I can access it from all my computers / tablets / phones when at home or away, it has made accessing files that I don't keep on Google Drive or Dropbox more convenient. It also allows for another hard dive to be plugged into it so that it is backed up, which I also enjoy having that extra level of backup in place.

    We take a lot of photos and fill up devices and memory cards quickly. This helps relieve that stress as well as we can access photos from anywhere. It's nice knowing they are all backed up on a cloud. Easy to use and easy to install

    I struggled with trying to figure out how to download pics. I wish there were more directions. I thought it would automatically upload photos. I need to free up my laptop, but I am scared to actually delete the photos from my laptop that I have downloaded onto the My Cloud.

    I purchased this for two reasons. One as a backup device and as a media/fill server. It works great for both options. As it allows me to have access to a file from any of my devices

    Easy to set up. Online tutorials were very helpful. I use it as a backup and to access common files from all my devices. Bought 3T although I didn't need that much as it was the better value for the price.

    Was intrigued about the product but decided to try it out. I now have all of my 1000's of pictures and hundreds of documents with me at all times on my Macbook Air, iPhone and iPad. Very easy to set up, use and access data.

    Primarily bought this for moving media ( pictures) and iTunes purchased movies for storage. The downside is it doesn't allow for play of iTunes movies - need to fix this.
