GoodSync server for WD My Cloud NAS

My Cloud OS 5 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud

Hi! I upgraded my My Cloud NAS from OS3 to OS5 and I’m working through getting the various accounts setup, using OS5, etc. We used the old WD desktop client extensively to synchronize folders from laptops to the in-office NAS, while out of the office. Since that client isn’t supported anymore, I’m looking into switching to using GoodSync for this. I have the client installed and setup on ONE machine, to figure out how it all works. When I’m IN the office, the GoodSync client can see the My Cloud NAS on the LAN and I can browse folders ok.

I learned about the “GoodSync for Western Digital MyCloud NAS” server today:

and it looks promising. Has anyone actually installed this? If so, does it work?

Thanks in advance!

Peace…

Well, I finally got everything setup. I got GoodSync configured and I’m able to synchronize files between my laptop and the NAS over the internet.

Peace…
