The thing has GPIOs though. That’s how it controls the LED lights… They could have attached one to a button, and have a shell script monitoring the dumb thing, and when somebody pushes it, it fires off “shutdown now” on a shell. But no. WD couldn’t do that. :rage: Instead I have to down it half-a…

Indeed they are present. But None are safe to consider when the manufacture himself is not sure about it and hence removed it.

I appreciate your efforts for your guidance and help. Will for sure try it while i am on windows or mac.Thanks a lot!

What I find odd is that the documentation refers to a “shutdown” button under settings in the dashboard, but the drive doesn’t show that on the dashboard, having a “hibernate” button instead. Is that just my “MyCloud EX2” or is that general. I’m using firmware purportedly the “latest.”

The missing shutdown button on the second generation v2.x firmware single bay My Clouds has been long and well discussed.

After installing new firmware, sharing single file or directory on internet doesn’t work anymore. I get 200007 or 402300 error. :frowning: [wd_condivisione_01]

My drive fails to install this repeatedly. It doesn’t tell me it’s incompatible software or anything else, it just says it failed and try again later. I’ve been at this for the last three hours. How can I tell if it’s compatible software? The console says the firmware is up to date at 2.11.168 w…

Have you tried to download the firmware file and updating it manually? Sometimes manually installing the firmware file through the My Cloud Dashboard > Settings section will work when the automated method the Dashboard uses doesn’t work. Relevant WD Knowledgebase articles: Western Digital…

Sorry I wasn’t clear, but that’s what I’m doing. Dashboard/Settings/Firmware Update/Manual Update. It loads the file then comes back and says “Upload firmware failed. Try again.” It never reboots or gives any other indication. I cycled power once, not every time I try it.

If your Dashboard shows you have v4 firmware, then you have a gen1 device. The latest firmware for that appears to be 4.05.00-320

Driver? This is the MyCloud firmware, that runs the MyCloud. It’s not a device driver.
