Constant Login/Passwords on Tablet & Phone

After the last update, I have to enter login & password from my tablet or phone everytime I want to access the drive. WHY? And does anybody else have that? It’s annoying after not having entered login/password since day 1.

I use My Cloud Home as a Music fileserver. Playback has been atrocious since this update. I can be 3 songs in on an album, and then the music will just stop for no reason.

Seriously, this last update might have been the worst of all time, going back WinXP SP2 (yes, I’m a dork)

I have opened a support case

Same happens to me,any hint? My whole public/flac folder that I have as library for my Sonos is not recognized anymore, please any advice?

I uninstalled the WD Discovery, rebooted, and re-installed it. Now the drive works & is accessible. I am annoyed that their ■■■■■■■ software update now makes you enter a login/password everytime you access the device. I don’t need It for music files. Quite frankly, I bought the drive just to host music on my home network. I could care less about accessing my music files halfway across the world.

I can access to the /public in windows explorer and with some apps, the issue is the Sonos app that can not access to the public. No idea why.
