WD2go remote access - Java error (Just show the Java loading page, and hang there forever...)

So I finally got this program to work on my computer, using Chrome.  The only reason I’m posting a reply to this thread is because in trying to find a solution, I read so many people with the same problem I figured I’d at least give a fairly temporary solution.

The only way I could make it work was to add 4 web address to the “exception” part of Configure Java on my pc.

And then had to click a whole bunch of “yes I am making my computer vulnerable” agreements with Java.  But…  It worked.

 

Not sure it’s worth the trouble though.  Such a pain in the butt.

good post, the only solution/workaround that works!! tried it on both firefox and chrome, all ok (NOK using IE11). Just remember where it says “MYDRIVE” in the urls above, it means the actual name you gave your device including the device ID. Easily found on the address bar when you initially login to your device via www.WD2GO.com
