I wasn’t aware of these domains but want to confirm they’re being used — currently I’ve blocked them
but if they’re important to mycloud I’ll let them operate.
That is probably data being sent back to WD because one enabled the option to join the product improvement program. And the My Cloud does have the option to email the user under the Settings > Notifications > Notifications Email section.
There is a check box on the first screen one sees (with the OS 3 firmware) at first access of the Dashboard if I remember right to enable product improvement reporting. There is also the following under the “?” icon > Support section with an option to enable or disable:
