    There is a little setup but it’s not too bad. You have to know that this is a cloud based backup option that you can share access too. It’s a dependable and accessible anywhere.

    Connected my Apple Airport Timecapsule (dead internal hdd) I had it connected to a Netgear base for a while, but the Airport is much easier to manage.

    I was hoping that this would be a good drive, but it appears I am not able to transfer files to it throughout USB and have been painfully uploading files through the web instead.

    The support team for this product has no idea what they are doing. I was told everything takes about 15 days to get a simple answer. I would give it 5 stars were it not for the support.

    This is great. I love the fact that it allows connection via the network and it runs Plex. If you are looking for a nice cost effective media server you can go wrong with this

    The older version of this product allowed cloning of thos drive to a separate hard drive attached via usb. This one does not. The functionality as a cloud drive works well, though.

    Great way to have your own personal Cloud without paying for subscription with other companies. Store your pictures, files, etc and access them anywhere without copying or moving the drive.... Yes Please!

    Have purchased WD products before, always been good quality. Initially, this looked like it was going to be great, with backing up from my phone. The issue is you really have to use the app to access the drive. Using Windows Explorer is an exercise in frustration. There is not fix. They say your internet is slow, you need to reboot, but in reality, it's the product. If you dont 'want to access things from your computer, it might be ok. For me, total waste of money, with zero customer support.

    Works great for network storage. Beware this only has a network RJ45 port, no USB port to use with your computer directly. The USB port is for importing files from USB drives only.
