    What is it you're wanting to do ? It's a Westen Digital Cloud drive, there is no "i" in it.

      Okay are there any good choices that actually works as advertised because most of the reviews I have read so far are terrible I want to buy something that actually works out of the box and not have to call tech support and go through a bunch of nonsense

            Here is a review I copied from the Western Digital site that was written 9 months ago about one of their more successful cloud storage devices.

            Western Digital will end support to your device
            The software will create problems over time; you need to have a high technical knowledge to get the most out of the device. The worst is investing time and money into the device and having WD end support because is no longer compatible with their security updates. Do not invest in this device. I advise you to build your own NAS (OpenMediaVault or FreeNAS) instead of buying this device; honestly, it is not that hard.

            This review was written by afrf107 on the Western Digital Site for the My Cloud Pro Series PR4100 Part#: WDBNFA0000NBK-NESN

              Okay how do you build your own NAS

              Here is what I would like to do dump pictures off of the iPhone and save files off of the computer 3D drawing and slicer files and stuff like that

              I do not want to use the iCloud I personally do not trust them and do not want someone else to control my data

                From what I have read you can not either get the device to boot up or you can access your files or it destroys your hard drives or you just can not get it to work correctly I read a lot of these kinds of issues and more issues really

                  First, I gave you a name on a site that tells you it is easy. One might try to look up this person and ask them.

                          That would contradict the premise of https://owncloud.com/ ...
                          I don't use it, however may have to use suites such as that to get caldav service...

                            Just get a NAS and allow web access.
