    This was a great addition to our home network. I have been able to use it for backup of multiple PCs, and share data with all devies (Android, iOS, PC). I would easily recommend this device to anyone needing shared network based storage. It even comes with cloud based service. I have other shared storage devices, but this one make no noise that I can hear.

    My Cloud is a great way to automatically back up your needed files. I just wish accessing the data remotely was a bit less cryptic. To much drilling down needed to get to what you want.

    I wish there was a way to restrict/quota the different connection methods to a usage limit. Namely Apple Time Machine, it will take over the whole drive, if you do not watch it.
