WD 6TB My Cloud Home Personal Cloud, Network Attached Storage – NAS – WDBVXC0060HWT-NESN,Single Drive,White

Dont buy this product
The only reason I bought this product was so that I could upload video files directly from main PC, and have them viewable across my network wherever I needed them without having to worry about USB drives or carrying a laptop or external drive everywhere. … honestly that would have been easier, you cannot set up this drive as a media server, you have to have the plex app, for that to work ( its provided, so extra hoop to jump through), drive doesn’t come with a usb/USB cord. So you have to buy one separately, but here’s the kicker… you cannot transfer files directly. So you have to resort to sending them over wifi or open internet. The web app offers a way to upload and they have a PC program that auto uploads your files for ease. However the PC app wont download on any of my PC’s obviously due to an error on there in, which leaves me only 1 options, the web app. The phone version is clunky and garbage, but the standard myhomecloud website isnt that bad its user friendly… here’s where the real issue comes in…. I’m streaming hd media 3gig plus per file… the upload site struggles to upload big files to, about an hour per file, and the the site times out. So unless you sit on top of the PC for hours at a time periodically clicking the page to make sure it doesn’t time you out. Your never going to get your files uploaded. I’ve been a westerndigital fan for years, I have 10 separate drives for all manner of storage. This is single handedly the worse designed, least user friendly, product I’ve ever seen. Waste of money in my opinion. Good: easy setup, pretty much plug it in and sign up for an account and your good to go. I’m sure it works great for pictures and small text files.

Good for what it is, but severely limited – don’t expect a NAS
First off others’ concerns and complaints are valid; this device has severely limited networkability, restricted access without internet, very limited configuration options, and poorly thought out and implemented features. It is geared toward consumers who are likely not technically-inclined and just want larger storage to replace or compliment online cloud services. “Integration” with my Windows 10 desktop is limited to the app being able to “map” a single personal folder to a drive letter. I can access a single public smb shared folder through the device’s local ip address but that folder is not accessible remotely in the cloud, and any private user folders are not accessible in normal windows networking. So far notwithstanding everything I’ve tried the “included(downloadable)” WD Backup App doesn’t see the device and I have found no way through the WD Discovery App to sync or backup anything on my desktop with the device. My experience with WD Android Apps make me believe backing up from my phone would be much more functional. I can add users if they have email addresses and internet access but I will have zero control or oversight in what or how much they store.Initial setup was very very simple but I quickly found a long list of limitations.With so many things to complain about, why 4 stars? First it uses WD Red drives. Build quality seems good. It just works, with minimal technical knowledge required. As close to plug-and-play as I’d expect something like this to be. Uses the online WD website as a gateway which is much better than punching holes through my router’s security. Attractive and easy to use web interface. Good price because mine was one that was used. I took one star away because I really wanted it to be able to automatically sync a few folders from my desktop.A few uncategorized comments: Device only has Raid 1 (mirrored/half tb capacity) or what they call JBOD which is more like internally spanned drive configuration, possibly a Raid 0 type setup, but who knows. Switching requires a complete wipe of stored files. Can backup Google Drive if I allow WD App/Device access to my Google Account. Can share files with links for other people to access over internet. Cannot automatically sync local files from desktop pc. Use router DHCP to assign specific local IP if access to Public folder is desired. This Public folder is a non-password-protected Samba network share anyone on LAN has access to.

J’ai plusieurs ordinateurs à la maison et au garage et je voulais cesser d’utiliser des clés USB pour utiliser certains fichiers, puis ce cloud home permet assez facilement d’y accéder avec Windows 10, Windows7 en installant l’environnement nécessaire pour accéder au nuage via le WEB. Ça fonctionne bien et avec une rapidité très satisfaisante. Un coup chaque ordinateur installé le nuage devient accessible comme si c’était un fichier ordinaire autant pour y déposer un fichier ou aller en lire un avec l’ordinateur de mon choix à la maison ou dans le garage. J’aime cette solution parfaitement.

Total scam….WD does not support this product anymore!
