Everything BUT setup app finds my new WD MyCloud NAS drive

Legacy Products My Cloud OS 3
1

My drive is in the finder. I can go to it. I can see that it’s on my network through other tools, but both the website version (mycloud.com/setup) and the downloadable app fail to find my new drive.

I’ve tried both in Safari and Chrome on the web part.

I’m on a MacBook Pro running the latest El Capitan. Everything is through ethernet.

I’m trying to find out:

  1. Why can’t Western Digital’s app find my drive?
  2. what else does the setup app do that I need?

Thanks for the help! JD
