Doesn't support basic NAS features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm extremely disappointed with this product, and the older My Cloud (non-home) variety was a solid product line. Contrary to WD's advertising, this product is far inferior to the 'older' My Cloud series. The My Cloud Home doesn't support very basic NAS features such as shares, or using protocols like smb of afp for file sharing. It requires you to use their desktop app and doesn't even support creating network users or password protecting the network drives.

Product is not flexible
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Cloud "Home" products are not as flexible as other WD personal cloud products. For instance, one cannot "ssh" to the Cloud Home and requires a mobile app to configure it. In addition, the amount of configuration is minimal. I chose to return this product.

Nearly unusable transfer speeds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took 10 minutes to transfer 32MB of data (roughly 24 files) over a hardwired network connection with no other devices actively using the network. It also estimated 7 hours to transfer 140GB of music files. This drive also cannot be connected directly to your PC or Mac to directly transfer files over. I have hundreds of thousands of files, some 2 or 3TB. The only way I can get large files to work is to move them one by one, which is not a reasonable use of my time. I'll be looking for a better product.
