It's straightforward,simple to set up and use.The drawback is that it creates too many backupfiles and I can't seem to stop it from copying every file as soon as I get connected to it with my cell.Probably due to my ignorance.Overall it serves me well for what I do and that is sharing certain files...

You should know before buying this that the USB port, that is supposed to allow you to connect an external drive directly to the My cloud home and access it remotely (which was the selling point for me) only recognizes a very limited number of external drive models.

I bought this by mistake - a stupid, lazy, expensive mistake. I thought I was buying a "My Cloud" - WD's NAS-lite solution for personal users. "My Cloud Home" is effectively nothing more than a stupidly overpriced photo storage box.

So you need a little know how when setting this up as it's a little harder than the product makes out. You can back stuff up from the desktop it makes a folder for you on c: drive where you can drag and drop folders to save stuff and you can even make your own folders.

This is not Network Attached Storage. It is some kind of Cloud hybrid that can be used to share files over the internet. It is not suitable for Plex, unless you use the built in Plex application, meaning you can't attach this and other storage and share your media through a single Plex server.

The My Cloud Home is very different from its predecessors – My Book and My Cloud home network storage devices. If you simply want to increase your network storage as I do – adding it to a 3TB My Book Live and two 6TB My Cloud network storage devices – you may be disappointed to find that the My...
