    Is good to be able to access your data on the go. It does duplicate your backed up photos several times for some reason which I find really annoying.

    I love the My Cloud. It is important to remember to only use the power cord designed for it, otherwise, it will ruin your device.

    I had purchased a MyCloud 4TB unit but you need to be on the Internet and connected to Western Digital for that to work. So I returned it. I don't expose my unit to the Internet. So for a private cloud, you need WD My Cloud Extra2 Ultra, not MyCloud. My previous MyCloud unit was private and/or public; but Western Digital has moved private cloud items up to a higher price point.

    Great way to keep local copy of large files such as videos and hi-definition audio files. Easy connection to network and devices. Very good way to use Sonos to tap into your lossless format audio files

    An excellent choice for a small office, but it doesn't have the features of the top model. Overall, a good choice.

    WD has gone downhill these past few years. Their products have become less customizable and now I will no longer use them. I did use this at work for a while and because of the changes to their OS I can no longer use in the manner in which I need. It will work for most home users. The drive quality has also declined as WD drives are crashing more and more on me.

    While the device worked as expected for the accessing/storing files, the purpose of the purchase was to use with Time Machine. That was an utter failure. One laptop never had a successful backup and the other one would complete and a day later start over. This was over a two week period. The product was returned
