    I have had this device for a month and it has been working as expected for three computers with access from our smartphones. The physical setup and connections are quite simple. However, there were really no simple instructions with the device for syncing the computers to the device. I had to go to You Tube to view several videos to figure out how to do it. The device could use more detailed instructions for dummies like me. Lack of instructions is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

    Great product, but held back by software

    I love the product, but all the bundled software is outdated and no longer supported. I can't get it to automatically back up the computer as advertised, but it does back up our phones automatically and provides file storage that you can get to from the internet while you are out and about. This would be a 5 star rating if they supported their software.

    Not a true NAS/Cloud device

    This is not a true NAS or cloud device for a PC. You have to keep relaunching the app on the PC when you restart. It does its job for backing up mobile devices and does it much faster when you are on your wifi.

    Bought October 18, 2018 and just decided to stop working February 20, 2019. It just flashes white and never connects back to the “my cloud” service. All the photos, backups and software I was storing there are gone. If you read their fine print, they are not responsible for recovering any of it. They direct you to paid third parties if you want to shell out a bazillion dollars. I am highly disappointed in this piece of trash. Save your money. I beg you!

    I purchased this to replace my old MyCloud. It is very fast and whilst it took me a while to get used to the new interfase (vs MyCloud), now I am quite happy.

    Great as a backup for you phone, not so much for large video files. It can take a while to browse through folders with large amount of video files on a pc due do the network only connection.

    I'm using this to move stuff off my laptop and free up space. Also want to go from 1TB SSD to something smaller and more cost effective when I get a new MacBook Pro.
