Customers are satisfied with the My Cloud 3TB External Hard Drive's ease of use, ample storage, and relatively easy setup process, as well as its remote access capabilities. However, some users experienced issues with the product's reliability and found the software and instructions to be less than intuitive. The price point was frequently praised. A few users also noted that streaming performance was generally positive.

    Easy to set up and easy to use. This has allowed me to set a central location for all my data needs and allowed my family to see/review videos/pic between all of us.

    The "My Cloud Personal Cloud Storage" device is a great product. I like the various sizes available ... which allowed me to buy just the storage capacity that I needed.

    I like being able to back up from wherever I am. These smartphones fill up with data and pictures so quickly you need somewhere to dump it so you don't encounter issues with other applications. I only wish they had the 4 TB version available when I was purchasing.

    Overall I have no major complaints. Basically you plug it in, update the firmware and you're ready to go. The only problem is that its a little bit confusing how to use it since about 5 new desktop icons and software programs are installed. Once you figure it out it's fairly straight forward.

    Overall, this is a great cloud based storage system. Instead SkyDrive, Amazon's drive or Apple's cloud, you can have your own personal cloud. Easy to access away from the computer and can automatically back up your system to it.
