    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.

    I used to use Apple's Time Capsules to backup multiple computers in an office, but since they have discontinued those devices this was what I have turned to and I have been very satisfied.

    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.

    Limited Customization Options

    Disappointed with the setup of this drive. Settings options are very limited. You cannot assign an IP within the drive or change the name of the drive. Also there are top-level folders that cannot be removed and the names can't even be changed. And the only top-level folders that can be added are one for each "user" assigned to the drive. I've used WD external drives for years and they were always very customizable. I'm using it since network capable drives are just about non-existent, but I wouldn't have purchased it if I'd known how poor the setup functions are.
