    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.

    I upgrade from my old WD Cloud to this, and I very happy to have done it. This new one is a lot faster, better app management and easy connection to it. The apps that can be added are a plus.

    This device has been great for keeping files handy within my own network, and the ability to access those files from my devices using the recommended app and Plex is a great addition.

    Purchased July 17, 2024. Defective. Returned and replaced on July 20, 2024. Now, August 2025, the replacement has stopped working. Sadly, WD is usually pretty good to me, but this cloud HD has been difficult.

      Hi WHYFi, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. If your product is still under warranty, we would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you.

    Took a little bit to figure out the Plex feature and move my library, but after a while it’s oretty seemless. I don’t mind the cloud access. It does have a public folder that can shared with.

    Good deal, but poor instructions. It did work after going on line and installing it twice. Should have had instructions in the box///

    I was led to believe that this would work right out of the box. It does not. One has to do a lot work to figure out how to make it useful. The company's help is USELESS.

    Nice having your own cloud that you don't pay monthly for. Every now and then it stops auto backup and you have to unplug and reconnect the ethernet cable but that's all.
