Is it the way to switch off my cloud?
…
I can see many conversations about the topic but none of them is giving the final answer.

One workaround to the lack of a shutdown option in the Dashboard on the v2.x single bay My Cloud is to just use SSH and issue the shutdown command. Plenty of discussion on how to do so on both the first gen and second gen single bay My Cloud.

Shutdown of My Cloud FW 2.30.181 using SSH

I’m using a MacOS X on my network and I find very easy to use its built-in Terminal: $$ ssh sshd@[IP address] halt -p I’m asked for connection confirmation and then for ssh password, and it’s done. Previously I had enabled ssh in the MyCloud Settings/Network Services, providing my password. I think I’ll stick with it.

Note: On the single bay My Cloud there is no “on/off” button/switch. Best one can do is halt the system (which is what the shutdown option generally does) then pull power to the My Cloud. It is generally advisable to issue the shutdown command before pulling the power. One could always connect the My Cloud power plug to a “smart plug” and instruct the smart plug to turn off after issuing the shutdown command to the My Cloud.
