i feel safe that my cloud is personal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the the my cloud has a ton of safety features, it took me a min to weave my way through them all but once i got grip on all of it i felt pretty confident. ( it would also help to keep all that you learn from it written down somewhere just encase you forget it)

Convenient and cheap backup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the drive to backup up several cell phones, tablets, and laptops. It was an easy setup and I had no issues backing up all my devices. My only complaint is it was really slow for the initial backup. This might be a problem with my wireless network. I'm not sure, but it took a long time to back up two iPhones. I use the drive also as a media server for my movies, music, and photos. I wish the drive had the option for a USB cable to connect. That would be much faster. There is a USB port on the drive but that is used to connect another hhd for additional storage.

Everybody needs one!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are running our of space on your computer because you have to many files, you need this product! I bought this External hard drive because my MacBook Pro was running out of memory and i was definitely not going to spend any money on a need computer or hard drive that i had to carry around. I keep a lot of work documents and HD pictures that i take with my DSLR to whom i usually like to have quick and easy access , so i use to store them in my computer. After buying this External hard drive, i transferred all of my files and freed a lot of space, which ultimately made my computer perform much better. Now i can access those files from anywhere I am and i have an internet connection. No need to carry a external hard drive that breaks easily, or you can loose or forget when you travel. Setup was easy for me since i am very techy, but pretty sure that if you follow the instructions you will get through it too.

Good Product, Could be more user friendly

Great storage solution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this after a considerable amount of research. I have a Mac Book Pro and hundreds of GB’s of photo and music files. I’ve used external hard drives in the past but needed an easier and less cumbersome way to share files across devices. This has seamlessly worked with my google fiber router and allows me to access my files on any device without having to plug in an external USB hard drive.

Not For Me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found the software to be less user friendly than Seagate's. I returned this item and purchased a Seagate Central. A good drive overall just not for me.
