Here are my videos from Facebook that are currently being backed up by My Cloud:ДЄ day later, I got an email saying that the Facebook backup has been completed. You can see the progress of your backup from the Activity menu. This happens in the background so you can leave your computer off while itвЂ™s backing them up. Once enabled, a folder of the service name will automatically be created (in my case above, a folder named вЂњFacebookвЂќ) and My Cloud will start downloading/backing up files to the drive.

UPDATE : Google no longer supports syncing Google Photos directly to My Cloud, though you can still do it via Google Drive once you link them across.

WD My Home supports backing up photos and videos from your smartphone (and we know how limited the space is on our free iCloud account) and also from many cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, and more through the вЂњSocial and Cloud ImportвЂќ which has to be enabled first. The Duo models will mirror your entire backup to the other drive for safety of mind. With an option to purchase WD My Home 16GB total storage, thereвЂ™s definitely plenty of space to back up your whole files for the entire house.

WD My Cloud Home actually goes beyond home. Or perhaps you just want to give each family members their own storage space that they can access anywhere. This is perfect since you can set up a backup running at home for each different machines and maintain separate backup files. WD My Cloud Home can set up individual accounts/users, so each can have their own space within the drive. At home, you can go straight to the drive using Windows Explorer and copy files over like a regular drive вЂ“ but when you are mobile, use your mobile app or a web browser from a desktop/laptop to get access.

What I like is that once you install the Desktop app, it will magically add your new My Cloud Home drive as a Network Drive (i.e you donвЂ™t need to map a Network Drive on your own).

Then download either the Desktop App or Mobile apps to continue.

It should then find and display your newly connected drive:

Go to /hello on a web browser and follow the instructions (create a WD My Cloud account if you havenвЂ™t).

It should be connected to your home network, get an I.P address, and so on (you donвЂ™t have to do anything to make it connect to your network).

Plug the power cable to a power socket, and the included network cable to your wireless router (itвЂ™s plugged to my D-Link COBRA at the moment).

Installation is pretty simple (thereвЂ™s a handy quick guide included): WD My Cloud Home Review вЂ“ Setup / Installation

And everything is so easy to set up and seamless to perform without the need of understanding network jargons or being a computer expert. This is a whole new ecosystem of storage at the comfort of your home.

But boy, calling it just a backup drive is an understatement. I was just expecting a NAS (Network-Attached Storage) with an auto backup mechanism when I first saw the WD My Cloud Home.

ItвЂ™s compatible with Windows (Windows 7 64-bit only or later), Mac OS (MacOS 10.10 or later), iOS 9+, and Android 4.4+. If you fall into this same laziness behaviour, you should definitely check WD My Cloud Home out. However, I do have to plug it in each time I want to make a backup and at times, I just canвЂ™t be bothered or wait until I accumulate enough stuffs to do an incremental back up вЂ“ which might be too late if unwanted accident happens to my PC. IвЂ™m getting better, backing up my documents in my Dropbox and other files into an external USB hard drive like the WD My Passport 4TB drive or the WD My Cloud drive. I even used to back up my documents and media files on the same drive they reside (but in a different folder). WD My Cloud Home Review вЂ“ IвЂ™m bad at backing up.
