It goes to sleep and uses low power, but is a great storage device to dump a network's worth of data on to

But as a setup to remotely upload photos and videos from my iPhone to this device so that I can free up storage on my phone - it's a loser.

If you looking for simple , and I do mean trouble free media storage for iPhone or other Android picture and media backup with super easy no hassle, truly plug and play in 2seconds flat ,then this Is it.

The best storage unit yet.

decent enough storage though, so that's good

It would be easier at this point to wipe out my cloud drive and start over , I STRONGLY suggest if you use this item at all that you have EVERY file sorted BEFORE putting them into this convulted, hard to nagivate, NOT touch screen friendly storage drive of hell

Bought it from another vendor, working well for first 2 months then start to have lost connection, missing storage error... lots of problem

A few basic requirements outside of standard LAN CIFS access were automatic iPhone backups to complement existing iCloud storage, the ability to enforce basic Read, Read/Write, and Deny access ACLs, and transparent proxy capabilities for true “Cloud Access” while away from home

The USB port is solely for attaching yet another storage device, like a flash drive or camera memory.

I wanted cheap network attached storage to act as an overflow location for our media server.

Good storage for the money

I bought it with the intent to use it for easy backups and file storage via our wireless network in our home

For the cost you can purchase several years of cloud storage (including Amazon Primes free photo storage, or Office 365 which includes 1TB of storage)

WD my cloud is a very nice network storage, and it is very easy to setup for remote access and or local

Makes for easy storage, but if you need Plex to run order the mirror version or you'll need a connected computer as well.

Great storage for price, but not quite the Cloud of my dreams.

One of the worst storage product ever made

Great storage

I'm using this NAS exclusively as storage for my OTA DVR solution and so far it has worked flawlessly.

Perfect cloud storage for the home.

I think I took a wrong decision related to cloud family storage despite that I use many WD products but this one disappointed me still working with IT people in my company to try and figure a way to solve this issue.

Great private cloud storage

Now the hard ware for WD is fine, if u get just a dumb storage pig tale unit of 500gb or 1tb, the process of wd cloud and handshaking is horrible

Storage is fine but at issue is the inability for users to access the dashboard controls on a consistent basis

The product works great as a file storage on my network

Although, owning a NAS is a good storage device, there are limits as to what this particular NAS can do

Can't wait to get all my information off of it and get a proper cloud storage.

It is a well made storage device but its software is terrible

Since I returned this, Amazon started selling Unlimited Cloud storage for $6/month

My intent was to move files that are not needed everyday off my machine but to keep them accessible and not overwhelm my cloud storage (which I use for critical items.

So much storage, easy to get to via the app and works perfectly

I've got this device and later I've purchased another WD 4TB Disk (gen2) and was hoping I can set them up in a redundant pair with spare power supplies and providing much more secure storage than the single enclosure (WD Cloud Mirror)

It goes to sleep and uses low power, but is a great storage device to dump a network's worth of data on to

(sync) photos, movies, and home movies to a NAS for some redundant storage.

I love the storage, but would love more consistency.

amazon prime gives me free unlimited photo storage and to add on more video storage space would cost less than this nas over several years

This provides me with abundant storage space at fast speeds and great price

I’m pretty sure cloud backup is equally bad for MyCloudPro Series ( https://www.wdc.com/products/network-attached-storage/my-cloud-ex4100.html ) too since they basically use the same operating sytems

Much safer than an unknown cloud storage.

4TB of secure usable storage located behind my own firewall accessible from anywhere in the world, what could be

But mass storage without backups is useless

Bought it from another vendor, working well for first 2 months then start to have lost connection, missing storage error... lots of problem

Takes forever to upload or load a picture from WD storage worst buy ever!!

Sync all your devices to this and not worry about ur phone not having enough storage;)

This is an awesome storage device and it's beyond my expectations

, there is enough storage, and it works steadily

Bought it to store pictures off my phone then found out google has free unlimited photo storage.

Slow as s***!!If you want to watch a movie on a remote loptop it takes for ever to down load and most of the time you get an error!!

The culprit may have been a hangup on a 0 KB file(s)

on the negative side, the data transfer speed (I/O) is not great.

I can access all of this from my Window and Mac PC's, as well as, my smart Phones and tablets.

I use it for DLNA, Mac backup and mountable drive as well as for PC.

Borderline defective as of right now

This is a great network drive for your photos, videos, music, as well as for document backup

Bottom Line is it does work and does appear to deliver the promised results but it is nowhere near as easy or straightforward as the marketing leads you to believe.

Overall the device promises a

They just don't work as they should
