Works Great - My own cloud backup

Great Family Storage Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Fancy new NAS
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

So far so good

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.
