Hello,

How are you tring to connect to the My Cloud? Using a web browser, Windows File Explorer/Mac Finder, or some other method.
What My Cloud single drive generation (first or second) do you have? First generation has a P/N number (on the bottom of the My Cloud enclosure) that ends in “-99”. A second gen has a P/N number that ends with “-10”.
For a first gen, the My Cloud User Manual indicates a white front LED indicates one of the following actions:
• Device has begun loading the Operating System (OS).
• Firmware update in progress.
Is the My Cloud connected directly to the local network router using a Ethernet cable?

If one has a second generation single bay My Cloud and they had the auto firmware update option in the My Cloud Dashboard > Settings enabled, it is possible the second gen My Cloud updated it’s firmware to OS5. When this happens the second generation single bay My Cloud typically becomes unresponsive for a long period of time (hours to days) due to the OS5 indexing the My Cloud hard drive.

I tried connecting with a web browser and Windows File Explorer.
After that I have checked the modem / router and see that the My Cloud has no IP, I try with another modem / router and the problem does not change.
I have try “My Net View Network Evaluation Tool” but I don’t see MyCloud
The green network light flashes slowly
