I received my BRAND NEW 2020 M1 / Apple Silicon MacBook Air on Tuesday. Nothing was installed on it prior. I installed the WD Discovery for macOS Big Sur app, set it up, and logged in. It does not launch finder. It does not integrate into finder. it does not mount the My Cloud Home as a drive …

Also still waiting for the solution. It’s not an easy option for me to switch to another cloud drive. The silence from WD is deafening.

It is unacceptable that WD does not support to update your My Cloud Home to the new Macs with M1, after several months of their appearance in the market, when is WD going to update the drivers or firmware of My Cloud Home to be compatible with Mac M1?

WD Discovery 4.3.327 now offers support for the Apple M1 ARM processor. Please see the following article which describes how to install and enable this support on the Apple M1 ARM processor: Install WD Discovery for My Cloud Home for Apple M1 ARM Processor Western Digital Support | Weste…

Trying to install on the M1 Mac Mini and the installer starts, but stops EVERYtime at unpacking (50%) whatever I try…

Just installed WD Discovery. Was beach balling a little, restarted again and managed to log in. It’s working! So far so good. Just hope it doesn’t slow the Mac down as the previous version slowed down the whole operating system with the beach ball coming up every few clicks.

After thoroughly cleaning the the Mac Mini M1 (according to the given guidelines) and installing (according to the given guidelines) I managed to get it working! HAPPY !! Thanks WD. It was a dark winter though.

My WD app is asking for my email and password and insisting that what I enter is incorrect. Clicking the “Forgot Password” link takes me to the home.mycloud.com where the password and email work fine. Am I missing something? Seems like the web based portal and the Mac app should be the same password…

Done all that… deleted the app, reinstalled the app, enabled WD extensions in Finder, had to modify security settings in recovery enviroment. Then enabled kernel extensions… rebooted a couple of times… still with the coloured circle moving on the WD icon… and waiting. been waiting for 4 months, can…

Im happy to say that… IT’S ALIVEEEEEEEEEE it’s working. HAPPYYYYY thank you all
