Device is so simple even I can us it.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a winner. I have a few experiences with network attached storage devices and this is the easiest one to work with. Plug and play is the best description I can think of. So many of the other devices require setup once you get it powered up. This unit asks for some information but doesn't require you to do any configuration of system resources like changing your firewall settings among other things. I really love how simplistic it is to set up but still giving the protection we need like using password to secure your account, data.

Easy Set Up

Affordable remote access storage
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice affordable option for storing files and being able to access them remote or even upload. Only negative is is can have a bit of lag so don't try download or upload too much at once.

Not what I want in a network hard drive.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WD My Cloud Home did install easily, BUT! It did not allow me to configure it like a usual hard drive. It also had a limited number of apps that support functionallity. I felt that WD was not supporting this device with any serious commitment. I like my aging WD My Book Live and was looking for a repeat of that version and was disappointed that WD did not continue functionally of that series. I am sure there are reasons but it does not support changes in the Windows 10 changes along with the age of my current My Book LIve, that has prompted me to start to looki for a replacement.

Good basic NAS
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from an early generation my cloud to this later version to add space and get Plex functionality. Good basic NAS, and the backup approach is an improvement over earlier versions.

easy to set up, not so easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it was easy to set up and backup my computer for the first time. not so sure what to do after that. but i haven't had the time yet to digest the manual and learn yet another new set of instructions. i'll get to it ... soon

Extreemly easy to set up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basically it is an external hard drive that is internet connected. Download the software and setup an account the set-up wizard does the rest. Came with a Plex-Pass promo which allows streaming DVR functions. Plex hook-up to my Fire TV was quick and simple, 4 digit code from TV to the plex website. Use the My Cloud Home Do More software to set up Plex folders on the drive and just drag and drop. There's still a lot of nuances I haven't explored yet but, I've had no problems viewing pictures and documents while away from home straight from the WD My Cloud Home app.
