It’s all down to data rates… For your remote upload, what data rates are the connections from office to the internet (uplink) and from internet to home (downlink)?

One can use the WD My Cloud Desktop software or the very insecure FTP method to upload files to the My Cloud. Or on iOS and Android mobile device one can use the WD mobile apps. More info can be found at the following links:
