    Works well because I never have to think about it. I recommend for anyone looking for a wireless way to save information or for a Time Machine backup.

    Had trouble getting it to sync with my wifi and devices at first. Tech support was not very much help. Once I got it its been good. It backs up automatically...easy to retrieve pics from anywhere.

    I used this drive for 8 months. Then it failed. I was unable to recover any data myself. When using the WD tech support I was informed that they "do not charge for data recovery" and to submit a "Return Material Authorization". This is NOT what it sounds like. Upon receiving the drive they ERASE ALL DATA & send a "REFURBISHED" unit. I have since learned via other "support technicians" that WD does not offer any data recovery .... Hence why they "do not charge for it". They also do not do any type of reimbursement for data recovery. So If your drive fails.... You have to PAY to get YOUR DATA & get a USED unit back... LESS THAN 1 YEAR. SUPPORT WAS A JOKE! They constantly send you to page after page to read & self diagnose instead of actually helping. DO NOT BUY!!!

    Heed my warning. Hours wasted setting up and really hoped to have this machine meet expectations. Found out this isn’t compatible with my MacBook OS Catalina. This having already spent hours into the early morning backing up iPhone pics. That proved to be a complete waste of time. My network also reported an IP attack experience. Boxed up and returned the next day. Do not buy!!!

    Great for picking what pictures to send over to it. Haven’t mastered how to set appropriate folders and such so it’s a mess in that aspect but that’s probably operator error

    The WD My Cloud is an excellent product for storing pictures, etc. but is a bit clunky when trying to share files. Ended up returning it because it was easier to use Microsoft OneDrive.

    works well if you want a music service, iPhone backup and have your files available in a "personal cloud". Really poor when using it for time machine as time machine repeatedly fails.

    I bought this so that I could share files between our Mac and Windows computers. It works great and also gives a visual indication of whether we are connected to the internet through our provider.

    Got this so I can use it as a Plex server. What a waste of time! The OS is very bare bones and updates are provided by WD on a very infrequent basis. There is no way to manually update the Plex server. Stay away!
