WD My Cloud Home Total waste of money & time, it is not compatible with iOS
My Cloud Home does not work like a regular drive, access is only through WD App. WD has not released software for the latest iOS Catalina & those of us that have updated our Macs now have ZERO ACCESS to our files. WD had no advice on their site to say that they had not dealt with new updates even though they have had months of warning!!!
The thread on the WD forum is massive with so many people not able to access their files however what is the most appalling part is WD's lack of customer service, this is their only reply after 5 days & masses ...Read more

Complete crap
I bought this thinking it would work the way my current WD MyClouds (2 of them) have worked for years. In fact it's a totally different thing and is pretty useless. Very limited access and no DLNA video server so it can't be used as a share to serve video content to a WDTV. I'd give it no stars if it were an option. $200 wasted, I'd send it back if I could get a refund.

BEWARE! The "My Cloud Home" is missing functionality the original "My Cloud" had. It is no longer a budget NAS.
I bought a WD My Cloud Home to upgrade my existing WD My Cloud. However, the Home is missing functionality the original had.
Retailers and tech review sites list both the MyCloud and MyCloudHome as NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices, however, the MyCloudHome's reduced functionality mean it should probably no longer be called a NAS.
In my case, the MyCloudHome is no longer suitable for backing up our PCs and Macs. This is because, while WD have kept the rear USB port, they have removed network access to external drives plugged into it. Wi...Read more
thout external drive support, backups and restores are impractically slow as they can only be run over a LAN (i.e. WiFi or ethernet), and the device is very slow at this. Also, slow backups increase the chances of corrupting Mac backup archives when using Apple's Time Machine. This is due to Time Machine not liking being interrupted. Apparently, other features have been removed and existing customers are not impressed either; - https://community.wd.com/t/petition-to-change-the-firmware-to-the-classic-wd-my-cloud/225791 - https://community.wd.com/t/lets-write-wds-mycloud-home-product-function/219142Similar opinion?
