It automatically backs up all your photos from your phone as you take them, ensuring that none of those cherished memories are ever lost. Just imagine the peace of mind you'll have, knowing that your photos are safely stored and easily accessible whenever you need them.

It's like having your own little digital haven where you can keep your files secure and separate from others. Privacy and control at their finest! Now, let's talk about one minor drawback. Some users have reported that transferring files from their computers to the My Cloud Home over the local network can be a bit slow.

But overall, it's a wonderful option for hassle-free and subscription-free file storage.

IT’S SIMPLE – IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR VALUABLE DATA, DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE! I run my own technology consultancy business and travel the world with WD portable hard drives in their respective CaseLogic hard cases in my suitcase. They have been all over the world with me in the luggage holds of aircraft travelling to the USA, Europe and beyond. They are reliable, solid and have NEVER let me down. So much so, I now own SIX of them. So, when I saw the WD MyCloud Home, I thought to myself, this would be a great addition to my WD collection, allowing me to use the cloud when travelling, and backing up important business data at home, in the cloud too. As it was, I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I needed storage for ALL the data from the HDD of my old MacBook Pro, so this was ideal. It showed up as a mapped drive and could act as a data server. Upon purchase, it was incredibly easy to set up. I plugged it in, set up an account and off I went, loading it with business data, that I could access in the desktop app, in a browser, even on my iPhone or my iPad. Now, trust me, I have run my business for nearly TWENTY years, and I only buy quality equipment with a good reputation. You get what you pay for, as they say, and I thought that paying around £150 for 4TB of storage was a pretty good deal. Not cheap, but then again, not expensive, and I have always held the WD brand is high regard because of their sensible pricing and quality products. That was until 2 days ago, when my WD MyCloud Home simply died. And it died with the entire HDD contents of my older MacBook Pro on it. Luckily, most of that content now resides on my new MacBook Pro, but there were archives in there from older clients, older projects, that I will NEVER get back, which really does piss me off. Yes, I am pissed off about this. Thoroughly pissed off. I have been in touch with WD Support, and Jack has been amazing. Patient, helpful, calling me back. I cannot fault the WD support team, but when they have to tell me that the device has failed and I will never get the data back, I seriously question why WD released the device to market. I was considering putting ALL my family photographs on there last week. If I had done so, I would have lost EVERYTHING, as I would have removed them from the likes of the iPhone, iPad and even the MacBook. The thought of that kind of sentimental loss makes my blood boil. WD are a market leader in data storage. Why, oh why, release a product that does this? Jack from WD Support and I tried EVERYTHING to try to connect to the device. We changed ethernet cables, we connected it directly to my MacBook, all the above, we tried it over a period of about two hours, but nothing. The device won’t power up properly, and when you log in via the WD Discovery app, it just shows as offline, with a message saying the device is offline or rebooting. We tried a hard reset, but again, NOTHING. WD have offered me a replacement device. Sure, that’s great. The existing one is dead, so a new one is due under the warranty. But that WON’T get my data back. Nor will it get my money back from Amazon, as I am now out of the 30-day period. Sure, you might say that I should have another backup. Well, I do. I use iDrive as a cloud-based backup tool, and I also have the majority of the data that was one the WD MyCloud Home on a WD portable hard drive, but it still DOES NOT excuse WD from the fact that this device FAILED and it was less than FOUR MONTHS old! All it has done is sit on the same shelf as my internet router since it was set up. It has not been dropped. It has not been unplugged. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. So, the warning is right there at the beginning of this review. DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE! If you have any data you value, DO NOT PUT IT ON ONE OF THESE DEVICES! Period, full stop, end of story. (PS – If there was a ZERO rating for this device, it would have got a big ZERO).

It's ideal for all your basic digital home storage needs such as Video, Music, pictures and backups for your tablet, phone and PC depending what you have on your PC and what size you get. The dimensions are about the size of a nintendo wii height and width is about half the size of a nintendo wii. As shown in the pictures It's really easy to set up and upload your stuff on, and would highly recommend buying one 👌 if like me you would like that piece of mind in making sure your digital footprint is backed up. If you have a lot of stuff that needs to be backed up I would recommend the 6TB and above. Though overall a nice piece of kit to have for the price 👌

Good product.

Ho acquistato il My Cloud Home Personal per effettuare il backup con Time Machine dei miei Macbook e MacBook Pro, entrambi da 512gb. La Time Capsule della Apple la ho scartata in quanto è ormai obsoleta non venendo più aggiornata dal 2013. Questa versione My Cloud invece è uscita in Settembre 2017 e ha il doppio della RAM rispetto alla Time Capsule e al vecchio My Capsule. La configurazione è rapidissima, le istruzioni consistono in un semplice foglietto visibile nella foto della recensione. Basta collegare il My Cloud Personal al proprio router tramite il cavo ethernet incluso e si è pronti per eseguire il backup. Oltre alle possibilità di backup permette l'installazione di molti programmi tra cui Plex, utilissimo per eseguire lo streaming audio/video su computer e smart tv. Un ulteriore vantaggio rispetto ad altri sistemi NAS è la silenziosità e compattezza. Non emette nessun rumore e le piccole dimensioni permettono di sistemarlo ovunque. Questa è la lista e la descrizione delle applicazioni installabili al momento: IFTTT: è un servizio gratuito basato sul web che viene utilizzato per creare catene di semplici affermazioni condizionate, chiamate applet. Un applet viene attivato dalle modifiche che avvengono in altri servizi web come Gmail, Facebook, Instagram o Pinterest. Gli applet ti permettono di fare di più con tutte le tue app e i tuoi dispositivi. Collegando il tuo dispositivo My Cloud Home al tuo account IFTTT potrai salvare automaticamente i nuovi allegati Gmail, le nuove foto di Facebook in cui ti taggano, i nuovi video e foto di Instagram e molto altro. Plex Media Server: organizza tutte le foto, i video, la musica, i film e i programmi TV, offrendoti accesso istantaneo sempre e ovunque. Grazie al software gratuito Plex Media Server sul tuo dispositivo My Cloud Home, potrai goderti tutti i tuoi file multimediali su tutti i tuoi dispositivi e condividerli con facilità con amici e parenti. Vuoi di più? Con i nostri esclusivi Plex Pass e DVR Plex, registra programmi TV via etere direttamente su My Cloud Home per visualizzarli su qualsiasi dispositivo abilitato a Plex. Libera i tuoi contenuti multimediali! Importazione di contenuti da social e cloud: sincronizza i file in tutta tranquillità dai tuoi account cloud pubblici, come Dropbox™ e Google Drive, al tuo dispositivo My Cloud Home. Questa soluzione di sincronizzazione continua e unidirezionale ti consente di centralizzare la tua vita digitale e di proteggere i tuoi ricordi preziosi. Sul tuo dispositivo My Cloud Home puoi anche salvare i tuoi caricamenti e album Facebook. Inoltre, grazie alle app desktop, web e mobile di My Cloud Home, puoi accedere a tutti i tuoi file ovunque tu sia. Importazione dalla rete: importare o copiare dati dal dispositivo My Cloud vecchio modello al nuovo dispositivo My Cloud Home. Nota: se non si dispone di un dispositivo My Cloud vecchio modello non è necessario abilitare questo servizio.

Comme le dit le titre à chaque produit son usage... Installation: C'est ce qu'à voulu faire WD, l'installation est un jeu d'enfant, brancher, aller sur le site, créer un compte (nom prénom suffise) un mot de passe et c'est tout. Vraiment royale Usage : Ce qui est dit nulle part, c'est qu'un serveur dépend de votre connexion internet... dans ce cas où j'ai qu'une simple connexion ADSL oui c'est très lent si vous utiliser le WiFi, encore plus si vous passer par un repeater. En connexion LAN (l'ordinateur brancher sur la box ça va). Donc pour résumer : -si vous avez une petite connexion prenez un volume de stockage faible, genre 1-2To. Mettez vos fichiers en sauvegarde en LAN et après faite des synchronisation en wi-fi. C'est particulièrement adapté pour les photos et autres documents. Pour l'extrême sécurité, prenez le 2 baies qui a un disque de sauvegarde. Le top : une sauvegarde sur votre PC, une sauvegarde sur le home qui l'a double!!! Impossible de perdre nos précieuses photos! C'est consultable sur un téléphone et de n'importe quel PC. L'appli mobile propose même de sauvegarder vos photos, vraiment bien quand on arrive proche des 128go et 256go de stockage de nos téléphone actuel. Après si vous avez la fibre et une grosse connexion ben même si le système n'est pas optimisé comme un NAS pour les transferts il vous permettra de sauvegarder des films par exemple. Pour ma part j'ai pris Le 8To, beaucoup trop pour ma connexion mais en reconditionné ça vallait le coup !!! Dans tous les cas qu'elle que soit votre connexion ce produit est parfait pour les photos et/ou document genre d'une petite PME. Le rapport qualité/prix/prix de Mo est tout à fait correct.

I was on the phone with WD for over 2 hours trying to get it to connect.
