ok product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this drive was purchased for a local networked backup drive, which has extra features not needed (like cloud access) but is missing wd’s backup software which seems to no longer be available. wd recommends using windows built-it backup, which the home version doesn’t actually backup to a network drive. if using this drive for simple backup, it also has an overly elaborate setup process via apps and accounts (mainly for the cloud access). it appeared this new drive was to replace a previous model wd cloud drive, but it really isn’t similar in available features and software.

Good but not for plex
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to host some 4k movies on my plex. This wouldnt transcode the movies. Just didn't have enough juice to do it. . But worked flawless for 1080 movies.

Easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cloud is extremely easy to set up and connect. The only issue I had initially was setting up a second user as it didn’t help me double confirm their password.

Fun storage Device - Great Media Server
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device set up easily. I used Plex and one of my PCs for the software/media server. This has been a good addition to my network. It's fast -- I don't notice a large difference between local or network loads, and I think the small delay is the wireless, not the drive. I am not experienced in Media Servers, and I may not have the best setup. I used Plex as the software and the combination is seamless. If there is something better, I'd love to know what it is.

Time saver! Make my life easier.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This solved my problem with iPhone lighting cable bottle neck. It was such a pain to take my pictures out of my iPhones. Now this just syncs them automatically. I already bought 2 more for my mom and sister.

OK for home use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for a firm I deal with but removed it because it is really a home based unit. You Crete an account and give access to it. I was hoping it would act and a NAS device. It does not.

Duplicates photos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Cloud home is a very good option to back up your files, although it has been duplicating my camera roll photos for some reason, I still like having access to all my backed up data any time, any where.

Amazing Cloud Drive

bought 2...neither worked.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I emphatically, wholeheartedly, without a doubt do not recommend this product. Nor any WD My Cloud product for that matter. I bought one of these to replace a WD My Cloud that didn't survive a 10-second "brown out" during a rainstorm (it was the only device of several plugged into a surge protector that didn't survive). For some reason unbeknownst to me, I was forced to create a "My Cloud Home" account during setup because my "My Cloud" account wouldn't suffice. By the way, that's as far as I was ever able to get.... Step 1. Connect the cloud drive into the router. Step 2. Connect the drive to the power source. Step 3. Wait for the light on the front to turn solid....That never happened. Not on the 2nd one of these I bought either. Called Western Digital both times, and apparently it's a known issue. Save yourself the headache...buy a different device.
