    I bought this to back up my new iPhone but it was hard for me to understand set up. I like the concept behind it but not sure I would use enough to keep it.

    This was one of the best tech purchases I've ever made. It was so simple to install and upload my files/hard drives via the internet or the USB in the back.

    So far so good. Honestly, I don't spend a lot of time analyzing it. It seems to work well for what we need. Unless a problem with it is discovered I'm happy with it at the moment.

    Great Family Storage Device

    My entire house has been using this for backup for all of our devices. (Computers, Phones, and even Consoles) Seamlessly connects to all of your devices at home and makes backing up content seamless. You can access all you information stored on it from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet. If you have a family that wants to all use the drive then your looking in the right place, the drive will automatically split all your families data so you can only access your information. It is a great Hard drive that has been engineered for all the families out there!

    Limited by Software

    The drive is great, and works perfectly for home purposes, especially with Apple's Time Machine. However, if you are looking for a Dropbox like experience, look else where. The My Cloud website and application is not the easiest to use. To this day, I cannot even share files directly with another person like you would on Dropbox, despite them having the MyCloud app installed on their phones and Macs. There is simply no way for my folder to show up within their app. Hardware side Western Digital definitely got it, but the software is unfortunate.

    Bought to replace my old WD MyBookLive. A lot cleaner interface but with a bit of a learning curve to get it to do all the stuff my previous NAS drive did, like being a DLNA server.
