Customer Ratings & Reviews

Device works very well and fast over network. Setup was incredibly easy using the software provided by WD. Only improvement I’d recommend would be making it easier to used your own drive encryption separate from the provided software. But I realize that’d go against the principles of simplicity.

It was very easy to connect and use. Currently have it connected using network cable but can also use it with USB. It backs up data and photos really fast. Really good product at a great price

If you are are looking to start file access using a NAS for your home, this is a good start.

Great for a novice computer user. Beats setting a RAID NAS. No issues in the 6 months of use.

Best storage device I got. Tried several storage options over the years. This one is the best so far.

Easy setup no technical skills required Great Price !

Easy setup. The auto-save feature for pics is nice, but requires a lot of cleanup if you’re a person that takes/uses screenshots or uses throwaway pics.

Bought this when I was having issues configuring an older external drive to work on my network. This is so simple. Drag and drop and access from anywhere. Plus with Plex media server built in its a streamlined way to watch saved videos anywhere. I absolutely love it and it’s so easy to setup and start using.

works great. easy to set up. only issue is i wish i would have bought the 8 tb model

Lots of extra storage. Easy to use and setup and worth it.

Easy to set up and the app on the phone and computer is very easy to use. Sad the app is not available on the TV but I got a free account with Plex and I can play my media on my TV with no issues. Streaming to my phone with the cloud app is a breeze too.

Works great. Easy to use and instal software. It was up and running in after a few minutes.

Quick amd easy setup. No knowledge needed to set up. Saves money from using online services like onedrive or Dropbox monthly/yearly subscriptions

Back to initial issue only My Cloud Home app can access the stuff, and the app has a lot of restrictions. Now you can setup local access where you can make it works like NAS. You have to assign local IP a for it and open your browser with key in assigned IP. From the dashboard page you can add local access and setup username and password (one user only).
That's how you can access the "secured" contents with regular file explorer or SMB client. You can setup port forwarding for outside access.

Using it as a time machine backup for two macs. Works great. I thought it would be a bit faster to write to but I'm not sure if that has to do with the computer or the drive. It's honestly louder then I thought it would be. If my office is super quiet it can be distracting when a backup is running at about 2 feet away.

I bought this for a friend after seeing how much more secure it is than a traditional cloud owner by a company. This can be shared amongst users in my household on multiple computers and the date can also be accessed remotely. Don't have to worry as much about data breahes/hacking.

Easy setup and saved us on paying for more space through Apple on iCloud

Easy to install and bring it up. Backup and view photos over internet works great

you could add storage via usb with a hub and multiple drives on the old mycloud drives, but not on these new mycloud home drives, but plex is pretty darn good. i stream 4k video from my mycloud home to my 4k tcl roku tv with the roku plex channel. plex is free for your home network, but outside your home network you have to buy plex premium to continue streaming.

I like the storage capacity but uploading files takes a long time
