I am very disappointed in the My Cloud Home drive

The only glitch was I had an older My Cloud drive and during setup of the My Cloud Home device, it asks if you have a previous My Cloud account which I had.

By configuring for any of the options, including some not listed, the My Cloud Home Dual will back up those cloud sources as well.

This My Cloud Home Duo (MCHD) drive has the capacity to consolidate into one place and because it has mirrored discs it protects against loss of back-ups, something I’ve had happen in the past--for that purpose it works well

The my cloud home dual drive can also be set to full capacity mode so that all 12TB are available, but the data is at greater risk of loss if a hard drive should fail.

I am not new to Western Digital My Cloud' and I've found this '2TB Home cloud storage' functions as advertised

I like the idea of an in-home cloud storage device and so far this seems great

The WD 3TB My Cloud Home Personal Cloud Storage is very easy to install

But including software that only works for their other products is pretty much a slap in the face to their My Cloud Home buyers

Any users of the drive have to make an account at my cloud home dot com, and either use the web interface, desktop software. or smartphone app to use the private storage area.
