    Stop spending money on more expensive gigabyte phones and get the base model and back it up to this thing. Save yourself $100 a year on upgrades of phones that are no faster because their storage is bigger

    The USB port can only be used to copy stuff to/from the drive. I wish it could be used to expand the available storage. The WD app is a bit clunky on the phone, but it works well enough on Mac and Windows desktops.

    WD needs to improve the functionality by allowing more ability of file movement to and from the my cloud unit. Unless you just allow it to do a complete transfer of all files (photos & videos) it is almost impossible to do it picking specific files and the ability to do other file types (ie pdf's). Plus I could find no way to back them up to a computer or other device. It seems their idea was to have you and others put their files on the my cloud and everyone to have access to them for shared viewing. I spent hours trying to get it to work the way I wanted to no avail. Searching the web only provided me with users that apparently never used one and thought it could do everything. And the WD website is way to vague on operation of the unit. They seem to infer just let it do it automatically and don't try to do any manual intervention.

    I'm an old analog guy and I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around using this component of my system. It is very cumbersome. My objective is to load several hundred CDs onto this device and listen to them on my system. I am experiencing difficulty with slow processing and getting my CDs stored on this unit, often with format incompatibility and incoinsistent operation of the music reading app on my desktop. Then I have to get Sonos on my i-Phone to select the music. So I'm usinfg one remote to get a signal to my speakers and then another remote (i-Phone) to select music to be played. The I had to get all this set up so each part would integrate. Nice when it all works but very cumbersome...

    If 2TB is all you need, this is a great cloud storage device, There is a 4TB version which is only slightly higher in cost so id recommend that one.

    We are new to the world of personal cloud systems, but I appreciate the support on line from WD. The videos reviewing what we are capable of doing with My Cloud are very helpful and the setup of My Cloud on my android phone was quick and easy!
