I’ve been working with WD “tech support” for about 10 hours over the past few days and can’t get this figured out. I can’t log into my mycloud account using the app. I can log in just fine using a browser and can see all of my files. But, when I try to log in using the app I get an “incorrect email or password” error. Even though I’m using the same password and email I use when I log in via the browser.
If I try to use a share code to add a device, I get an error: “Network connection failure (906).” but the device is absolutely connected to the network (I’ve tried other networks too).
I’ve tried different email addresses, different user names, different passwords and nothing has worked so far.
Right. But I still have a “can’t log in” problem that isn’t indicating a network error. It’s possible that it is related to the 906 error but is simply displaying the wrong error message.
I am seeing the same thing. Cannot login using the app, but can login via website using the exact same email address and password. This started on 21/Aug/20. Before that date it was working just fine.
Yup. It’s an SSL issue. But, you can use FTP to connect with no problem and it gives you pretty much the same functionality as the app would if it were actually working.
Same issue here. After getting the new phone S20 Note. I cant login anymore using the android app. Wondering why the app name is changed to MyCloud OS 3
FTP is not secure. Something to be aware of if one plans on using it. Depending on your My Cloud model one may have additional more (potentially) secure methods of access (SFTP, WebDAV, etc.) than is offered on the single bay/single drive My Cloud units or with FTP alone.
Another option, that will bypass WD entirely, is setting up a VPN server on the same network as the My Cloud and use a VPN client to access that My Cloud from a remote location. VPN however does typically require more computer knowledge to setup and properly configure. Some consumer routers (like Asus) may include VPN server within the router’s firmware which can be enabled/setup using the router’s administration interface.
By using a VPN tunnel your computer will act as if its on the same local network as the My Cloud. It will bypass any issues present with the MyCloud.com web portal or with the SSL cert used by WD in their mobile apps.
I called a U.S.-based Western Digital office in Aliso Viejo, CA (949.672.7000) and explained the issue with the SSL certificate. The guy who answered the phone said I could expect a call back in 2-3 hours from a U.S.-based support team. Hopefully I’ll hear back soon. I suggest that people with a similar issue also call their local WD office and lodge a complaint. Maybe if we make enough noise WD will believe they have a problem and fix it.
pareil connection impossible au compte my cloud via l’appli my cloud android. mot de passe refusé ou erreur 906 en wifi ou donnée . ok via pc via version web après acceptation nouveau certificat.
si l’appareil est détaché du compte mycloud.com tout est HS car ensuite l’ampli refuse la connection au compte en wfi et donnée. impossible également j’ajouter un appareil via un code. ok via interface web après acceptation nouveau certificats.
le probleme vient des serveur de wd car tout fonctionné il y a 1 semaine.
