Perfect storage unit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No complaints here. The unit was extremely easy to connect. It took longer to read the instructions than it did to get it up and running. For the price and the amount of secure storage you get this was a great deal.

Killed my wifi to other devices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Actually gave this product 2 shots. The 1st one installed easy and started working in 20 minutes. Good interface. Only problem is it only backs up your camera roll in your Android devices. The next day my wife started noticing that rokus and tablets would get slow wifi. Unplugged the my cloud home and all were back to normal. Exchanged for another one and then it was a full day excercise to install since the desktop app didn't recognize the new one and I couldn't figure out how to remove the old one. Had to register again with a different email to get it to work....and the it did used all the wifi again.

Great for easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The network storage is great if you want a very easy setup and do not need to setup user permissions. I was told this was like my old one (WD mccloud NAS) it was the "newer" version. After plugging it in it literally was about a 5min setup. The longest part was taking it out of the box. After setup, there is not a way to setup permissions for individual users. Like my old WD network storage, I was able to customize settings for each family member. Since all my friends are all in IT as well as myself, I personally would not recommend this device to them. Other than permissions, this is a good unit.

Great for phone photos
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for backing up my camera roll. I also like that you can add users with their own account and space on it. Also was able to transfer files via the usb port on the back. The mobile app seems straight forward.

Easy to setup and use, good value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device was easy to setup and use. Less configurability that the higher end WD NAS offerings, but a good value for a reliable, easy to use, simple NAS solution.

Great Beginners NAS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super simple to set up, Can access from any computer on network and any authorised device outside the network. Can turn it into a personal PLEX Server with a button click. Only downside is that I didn't see the 8TB version first!

Minimally functional network storage device
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works, but not the way I (or anyone else should) want it to work. You need the mycloud app to access it for file and directory operations, it has to be hooked directly to your router, and is not reliably drag and drop for large files on my MAC. If you loose internet connectivity, it can choke. It is simple to use, but not a robust solution if you want more flexibility.

It’s not like the old one
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Point blank, this device is made well. The problem is that the old software was so much better. If you are buying this to replace an older MyClould then just be warned, you’re not going to be happy
