Western Digital My Cloud WDBCTL0060HWT

Bought this product as a replacement for Lima (good product but Co has now closed). The device sets up a Public part as standard. Copied all files to this. The device also takes all your photos etc from your phone and like and places in another folder. The whole point of a cloud is to access all your files wherever you are but only the photo files are accessible, all the files (that one actually needs to work on) are not accessible when away from the LAN at home, so product is basically useless. They have offered a solution using WD discovery and re-mapping drives but so far 2 techs that have visited have not been able to do and it is very complicated. Why couldn't they just make all files accessible?

This.is.a good media storage device if you don't wish to have your computer running ..you install Plex on a device or computer . I use my phone . It took a few attempts to figure the configuration but now can watch all my content even from my phone away from my house .

This item was purchased based on WD's website saying it had lightning fast data transfers, and could be used as a personal cloud or media server through your Android device. Be very careful, this item is not a MY Cloud Home which is a new model at the time of writing. WD may have fixed some of these problems.
1. Slow transfers. It took over 5 hours to transfer 600Gb of data from a WD USB3.0 drive (instead of the expected 2 minutes)
2. No app for casting media and all the ones (emby, megacast etc) were very choppy due to slow transfer speeds
