    All I wanted to do was provide a TimeMachine backup, but I could not get the MacBook Pro TimeMachine to connect to the MyCloud Home NAS. Finally, after a couple hours, I found in the community that I had to login as Guest. Still did not work. I rebooted the Mac and Voila! It connected.

    We can't believe we ran our small office without MyCloud. It is so easy to set up. On 3 computers. Easy to organize, save important emails for quick references. Some times we have a problem with the app. It won't show certain changes when you open a document.

    I have had this device less than two years and it has died on me twice with no way of restoring any of the data that was on it. Their software glitches whenever you try to share a folder with more than one user causing the entire device to crash. Years of pictures and data have been lost. Highly recommend another solutions as they do not help you recover any of the lost data. Time to look at other manufacturers as WD clearly isn't it.

    This is literal plug and play. No fancy networking or anything. Just download the app on your phone, sign in with the account and everything is shared.

    pros: Easy to install Took 10 minutes to install Don’t require a lot of space Cons: You have to log in to see the drive on your pc. Seem like it was meant for tablets and phone. Can be slow at times using the pc.

    I am satisfied with the purchase. This is my introduction to personal cloud storage. I am using it to back up my computers. The only issue is when I set up it would not accept my password, and the 2nd level still does not, which is a little confusing.

    This was super easy to set up and makes backing up pictures and video super easy. I was able to set it up to happen automatically. So no more fear of losing family photos. The drive is list in my home network making it very easy to access as well.

    I think this model is faster than my old My Cloud. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is that it must be connected to the network to run. You cannot just connect it to a pc and use it like an external hard drive. The app that is available on apple or android makes transferring your data very easy.

    I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It works great. She loves it and has been able to store everything she had on it and still has tons of space left. It's a great product. I would recommend to anyone.
