It does a great job of backing up video and photos from your devices, and for storing files, but again if you have sensitive files and are not comfortable with this being connected to the internet to work, that could be a problem

I contacted WD and couldn't really get across my problem to them (language problem) but did find out that the file did not go into an internet site like Myspace

Spent over 15 hours collecting/organizing the files, and hooray - it's already bricked

Rebooting (power off - power on) the My Cloud Home resulted in the device re-initializing it's self and erasing all the copied files

The bad news is that the drive uses a case sensitive file system like those on Linux

I have DAS and NAS installed on my PC network for backing up critical files and sharing video / audio media

PDFs open fine, but so far, I’m unable to open Word or Excel files

Raid1 option helps protect your files from hard drive crashes Files accessible from all your connected devices

I can place important files on it that I might need later and retrieve them remotely.
