Adding a USB drive to my Cloud Home

Hi all,

I want to add my WD Passport 5tb USB drive to my new MyCloud home - I have plugged it into the rear USB port and the app gives me the option to copy to/from USB drive but I want to use it as an extension to my storage not simply back it up.

How do I get it to show as a drive in my app please?

You need to read the User Manual. See page six and 12.

Thank you. I did read it but there’s no mention of how I add a drive so I can view contents and expand my storage etc.

I can’t actually see the contents of a drive attached to USB port.

If that’s mot possible then it’s a hugely limiting feature!

The User Manual will tell you how it works not how you would like for it to work. You can check the Knowledge Base or do a search for prior topics on this. Below is a link to one topic on this.
