I was awoken this morning by my cellphone provider messaging me that I was down to 25% left on my data plan, then an hour later , that I was down to 10% then an hour later, that I had used up all my monthly data (1 week into my billing cycle).
It turns out that the WD Mycloud app on my Android phone was downloading the same 3 movies over and over while I was not connected to my home wifi (thus, using my 4G data on Verizon’s network)! This has never happened before and I’ve had the Mycloud app on the phone for 3 months now.
Why does it keep trying to download the movies to my phone after they’ve already been downloaded successfully (about 2 weeks ago to be precise).
Does it have something to do with my moving them from the WD Cloud folder on my phone’s internal storage to a ‘movie’ folder? Because the downloads keep happening and end up in the WDCloud\Public folder on my phone.
I eventually deleted the files from my Cloud drive and it seems to have stopped the attempts.
How do you stop these downloads once they’ve started?
And is there a website that outlines the best way to set up your Cloud App so that it doesn’t transfer files unless you’re only using Wifi?
