Crashes and Erases Data when sharing folders
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

My own cloud service.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Love WD MY CLOUD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
