Ratings and Reviews
Nice update
It is a good update to the app, but..
Missing the download functionality, not good.
Streaming works better than before.
Also has lost the activity function, which was great to jump straight back to what you were last watching or listening to something.
The time to complete the reindex of the drive is long , that needs to be clearly explained, my 13tb of storage took 24hrs ish on the 32tb drive. Just keep this in mind as you can access your information during this time.
I will wait for the next update and hope I get back the download
It would be great to get the app onto the Apple Watch too if possible, streaming audio etc
Facelifted app belies missing features & user-hostility
I was dreading having to upgrade to MyCould OS 5 because of this app - it lost a bunch of features that the previous app for MyCloud OS 3 had, such as being able to download files to local storage. Now that I’ve had to upgrade to OS 5 and use this app (because WD threatened to cut off remote access for customers using OS 3)… it’s worse than I expected.
Music streaming from the new app is a joke. The new app refuses to advance tracks when the app is not open and in focus (ie when the screen is locked or you’re using another app). There is no way to filter your file search to only show music files, nor search by metadata like album artist etc
Likewise, video streaming is also downgraded in a similar fashion.
The new app might look nice but it’s just not functional. I wouldn’t recommend WD products to anyone after my experience with this app and the user-hostile policies that force me to use it to keep using my NAS in the way it was advertised.
My cloud devices sharing
- First there was a cloud desktop app, then it stopped working so we have to go to the internet to see and download files with scrolling long way down while page loading, and if u leave it a bit it will log out then u have to log in again.
- Second We hade to use the cloud 3 app on phone only, at least we’re able to see different shared devices and move around between them, then they stopped supporting this version.
- Third we had to upgrade (downgrade) to cloud os 5, we can only log in to one device and log out and in again for different device, also I can’t move a file to a different folder only to the folders that are in the same main folder nothing in upper folders!
- This is initial problems, in addition to that I can’t download folders only the files!
Why these changes in to a horrible way, can’t under it!
