Dashboard and Apps
Dashboard:
Here are some shots of the various dashboard options on the My Cloud. There is some additional detail / slides on the equivalent page of our EX2 piece:
If desired, you can configure individual user logins, each with their own permissions to various shares.
Shares can be added, removed, and configured on this screen. There is good granularity to the configuration of each, as well.
Cloud access can be configured here. Multiple My Cloud devices can be attached to the same account.
Backups configuration is flexible, and can go to a number of places. Internal backups are convenient for when a duplicate copy of a folder is warranted, however users will typically backup to external or cloud based solutions. For those, choices are a connected USB device, network shares, as well as ElephantDrive and Amazon S3 for Cloud options. WD will likely add more Cloud options in the future via firmware updates.
RAID modes can be changed on this tab. Shown above is the drive information page, which can even pull up individual drive S.M.A.R.T. status.
Apps:
More detail on the available apps and capabilities are available at this link, and pictured below for your convenience:

Either this, Synology or build your own NAS,….. 🙂
I have a WD MyCloud EX2 and I run a Windows Server 2012 Essentials box as well as running a Synology DSM device. IMO, for ease of use, features and OS I would definitely recommend the Synology.
Any SSH access? Also, it
Any SSH access? Also, it might help to spell out what jumbo frame sizes are supported (4k, 9k, 10k, etc.) Unfortunately, not all jumbo frames are equal because its something of an unofficial/loose standard. It sucks to troubleshoot network issues because even though all your devices support “jumbo” frames, one supports up to 9k and two older devices only support up to 4k…and even then finding out that “4k” is not the same actual payload size in bytes across different devices.

Just a buyer beware here. I
Just a buyer beware here. I got a WD router a few years ago that also had a built in HD with access to the WD2go website, which i believe is the same as this My Cloud stuff. As far as I can tell the WD cloud service scans the contents of the drive for copyrighted material and, if it finds any, makes the drive invisible to your account when you aren’t accessing it on the LAN. So if you were thinking that this might be a great way to save your mp3s and movies on your own internet accessible hard drive I’d warn you that you may be very disappointed.
I’m not sure that this is still the case with the WD2go service since I gave up on trying to get it to work a couple years ago. I’d be interested to see if anyone has any recent experience with this. I’d love to be wrong and be able to actually utilize that router again.
