(file size inits might be set in your ISPs protocol as well).This WD also supports backup protocols for both Mac (TimeMachine) and PCs

If you've never used a NAS, then you probably would not have any compasrisons and be quite satisfied with the WD Cloud Home Duo

First and foremost, I love WD

It's entirely possible that a cloud service provider offers this feature, but the WD My Cloud Home does it well, and without the recurring cost of a subscription.

You can NOT access it similar to a NAS,.. directly from you network (circumventing an internet connection (remote access) ) using the free WD app you dl and install on your mac or pc

When WD should be convincing the user that safeguards are in place protecting privacy, WD instead constantly is asking if they can have your permission to access it.

However, when I tried the WD Backup App, it did not recognize the WD Cloud storage and pointed the backup destination to Dropbox instead

Please stop meddling with your customers WD!

Overall, this WD Cloud storage works quite well with its decent transfer speed and ease of access once everything is set up properly.

To install and use the WD 4TB Duo Personal Cloud Storage, I have to say first that I am not strongly computer literate and did have questions for my programmer son

I am not sure what the cap is for file size, but, unlike my other NAS’s that handle any file size at all, this WF and the WD Cloud web site do not cooperate as well for larger file sizes.

I returned a previous WD storage device that was too complicated for me to set up and use, which I hated.

By checking on the WD support site, it seemed that the WD Backup App does not support this WD Cloud Storage

Love WD hard drives but had to drop 1 star as these might be more powerful compared to the old My Cloud drives but they are a lot less flexible.

The file transfer speed is pretty decent as compared to my Synology NAS.What's lagging with this WD cloud storage are the lack of detailed instructions and useful Apps

It has no built-in backup feature, and, because it’s not a mounted volume but rather just presented using this awful “WD Discovery” app, there’s no drive to actually point other backup tools at

You can't even mount it as a network drive without loading the stupid WD Link software.

As a PLEX cloud (internet access only) streaming device, this would do well for that if you have a decent internet connection and over-all setup and it was easy to install and set up PLEX on the WD Cloud Home duo as well as my other viewing devices

I also found the WD and supporting cloud web site refused to accept a high Def file that was about 12 GB in size

I really love the WD

I'll try to answer some questions below, but expect to spend time on the WD support page to figure out how to use your My Cloud Home

The setup would install the WD Discovery App on the PC which acts like a network drive, We can easily drag and drop files from our PC to the WD Cloud storage

But the huge advantage of personal privacy is a lost opportunity, and WD shows a strong bias on getting its hands on your data.

WD should be clear on what their various models do.
