Good while it lasted.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Doesn't act like file manager, just backup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the backup storage. Not thrilled that when I add a file with the same name as something already there it doesn't warn me, just renames it with a #. I may end up with many copies of the same thing when I really only want it there 1x.

Personal Cloud
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to set up. It is an okay price but is limited on what you can do. I wish it would organize photos and notify when you have duplicates.

Save your money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this would be my solution to iCloud. I thought I’ll just have my own. Well, in theory, it sounds great and should be great. In reality, it’s slow in general and really slow after a certain point. The way it organizes files is not user friendly. I finally gave up. It sits unplugged under my desk. Perhaps if you don’t have much to store, it might work for you. If that’s not the case, save your money. If I could take it back, I would.

OK
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard Drive works great, no complaints with WD. Microsoft is different story. Can't install like you used to be able to, which makes it a little harder to use.
