You can limit the access to certain files to protect any sensitive information you have as well!

I would highly recommend a less expensive Mycoud drive for non critical backup and cloud access of data.

I would say the one thing that really turns me off from this unit is the fact that the only way I can gain access to my content from my devices (e.g. Windows Media Center and a Windows Media Center Extender) is to literally set the content shares to PUBLIC

Music quality does not sound too good to me, but it means that as long as you have good access to the HDD using fast enough Wi-Fi or cellphone data, you don't need to use iTunes to copy music to your iPhone to listen to your music

Set up was very easy, remote access is very easy

Easy access to HDDsCons:

Comparing with the time capsule I would say that the WD Cloud has some advantages as access from any computer/ mobile.

Easy access from any internet connected device, backs up selected folders in PC for easy access from anywhere

Easy to reach from anywhere using IOS or OS X apps, web interface offers easy access.

Remote access is pretty good, and setup is a breeze

The WD remote access simply does not work

, supposedly this is only true for your home network though and no one outside your network will be able to gain access

Anyone who can gain access would be free to delete, rearrange, or add to content you have.

Other than that, the WD's phone apps are well designed and easy to use, and allow seamless file access.

After that however, I was easily able to utilize the WD Red 4TB HDD (also a great product) and taking advice from previous reviewers, I also portforwarded for my device to ensure that access wouldn't be restricted in any way

I like all the WD features and easy access

You can revoke the file access using the iPhone App later

Cloud access flawless, dependable

The mycloud.com site and MyCloud app on the phone routinely disconnects (almost every day) and I have usually have no access to files when away from home...which defeats the whole purpose of the concept.

WD also has a very good reputation for the quality of their hard drives, as well as for customer support.

Just got this NAS to help me backup my photography as well as give me access to all my files on the drive while away.

I have since ordered 6 more for various clients as well as for internal use

Copying files to and from the NAS is only about half as fast as copying between PCs, usually about 40MB/s on Windows's speed indicator
