    I connected this to my network, followed the quick start guide and it was up and running in just a couple of minutes. The Smartware, shares and user setup is a bit challenging. The public share and remote access works well.

    The setup prompts that WD's website walks you through are simple, and sinking it with a mobile device is just as easy.

    I have not had extensive use of it yet, but appears to be doing what I needed: upload anything at anytime from anywhere for secure storage so can free up space on my iPad and iPhone, plus know that my pictures are safe. There are multiple downloads during setup; a summary of all the setup procedures would be nice.

    At the recommendation of the Geek Squad Store Manager who uses this product, I purchased the system. I haven't had it installed yet by the Geek Squad but am looking forward to backup on all my pcs plus the ability to access from anywhere.

    Great way to store your pictures, music and files with out having to pay monthly. I love the fact that every picture you take with your phone, it automatically uploads to your cloud. Plus you can have many users you want.

    Set up was painless and we immediately started using the unit. Much faster than the NAS we were using before. Also allows a secondary USB disk to be added so I can also share that as well. I prefer having my files held locally..

    Price is great for amount of external storage and ability to connect additional products via wifi. HOWEVER-the directions are nothing short of horrible. A picture is all you are provided with. If I need to recommended based on directions I would give product a -10
