nick loss to be fair, he explained more than just connecting a USB to a router....

Thank you for your sharing, my problem is my cloud recognized the USB hard drive but it shown no storage space available. I went through the cloud community forum and found quite a few people encounter the same problem. I can't find any solution yet, it will be great if you can help with that.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks! Will this work if you connect multiple MyBooks via a USB Hub to the MyCloud?

@janakarajapakshe 6 лет назад

does the copying go over the network or simply via the USB? ....also can we access the external hard drive remotely from the my cloud interface when we are outside the network

I have 2 USB drives through a hub attached to MY "My Cloud" and all three drives show up on My desktop PC in "This PC" (My Computer) folder as a lettered drive under "Network Locations" but I can't find the 2 USB drives anywhere on my Notebook PC that is on the network. I see the My Cloud drive as drive Z but the 2 USB drives aren't showing. Oh, and on the My Cloud page on the top where the USB symbol is... It says no devices found even though hey show as storage on my desktop computer

Very helpful video when I was having issue adding SSD to MyCloud, now I just use a SSD via external 2.5 case and attach to MyCloud that way. Thanks for the detail instructions.

Jesus Christ, thanks a lot for this! I was just about to throw my single-bay WD My Cloud into the corner. I even installed a desktop app from WD that - after the install - informed me that it is no longer supported by WD. So thanks a lot for this hint!!!!!

Better be darn sure your Drive & Networking devices are connected to an UPS, Uninterruptible Power Power Supply!!!....your Data is only as clean as your power going to the devices reading & writing that data!!!

I had a WD My Cloud exactly like the one in your video that failed. I took it apart and discovered the 4TB drive was still good so I think the circuit board failed. I ordered and external enclose, installed the drive and connected it to my new WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra and it works perfectly, thanks to your video. Excellent video, Thank You, sir.

Another "tutorial" where the author was incapable to mention to what exactly he refers. Man, what firmware are you using? Others may have another one and half you talk about is not present in their version.

Hi! I added an external hard drive just like you, but it isn´t showing up on the USB tool. The disk is turned on and powered by the WD My Cloud. What can I do? Thanks!

@GotKEYStudio 3 года назад

got a RED LIGHT OF DEATH when i plugged an exFAT external in the back!!! 😢😢😢 it says There are no USB devices found.

@ESRepair 3 года назад

It doesn't recognize exFAT drives. It does recognize NTFS drives. Im not Sure if it recognizes HFS.

@MezeiEugen 7 месяцев назад

The more interesting question is if you can add more than one USB drive via a an USB hub.

@ESRepair 5 месяцев назад

You can add addition USB Drives using a USB HUB. I am still using the NAS in the Video with 2 External 6TB USB Drives connected to the NAS via 4-port USB Hub

ESRepair In trying to add "MY Book" to "My Cloud" it wont act as a safe point. The My Cloud recognizes it but when clicking "safepoint" it only says "Retrieving partitions" and goes no further. Any ideas?

@fookingsog 5 лет назад

Perhaps your USB drive is "incorrectly" formatted!!! I know the WD MyCloud uses a Debian Linux OS based Operating System but I'm not sure which drive format will be the most optimal. I have 3 of these 3TB WD MyCloud devices and I am looking for options to expand. I had heard the 3TB versions had premature failure problems one of the factors I thought might be the vertical orientation of the HDD instead of horizontal. I believe it's best for consistent wear that the drive be oriented horizontally. I've also got a fan blowing over mine to keep them cool.
