General Feedback - WD My Cloud OS 3 Operating Software

Look & feel of the Dashboard? As Ralphael says; it’s white. That’s the only tangible difference. Oh, and the ‘swipe’ page changes. meh.

Dashboard function? Only real change I’ve noticed is the ability to exclude USB from cloud access; other stuff has been moved to home page (usage breakdown, shutdown/reboot).  Even the button mouse focus bugs are the same. I don’t care about cosmetics, provided they don’t obscure the function.

Remote access? MyCloud app seems to work much as it did before, the little I’ve used it.

Removal of remote disk mount: bad.

Removal of Windows Mobile app support: bad.

As absane says, and I noted on the -303 release, it’s obvious from the image size that a lot of tidying has gone on. Security improvements? Yes, that’s good, but that really ought to be SOP, and nothing to shout about.

Twonky still breaks.

Still can’t disable thumbnailing.

Still can’t add apps.

Still can’t set share size quotas.

Still can’t access the Mirror-like admin tools.
