I recently decided to stick my personal website on a Raspberry Pi server with a PiDrive for storage. It was fairly easy to get the latest raspian running from the pidrive instead of the sd card for added stability. You can read about it here :slight_smile:

Hey there! :slight_smile:

@WDStaff

It would be so great if WD (WD myCloud) Sync could use extern references! I´ll explain it:

With the application “WD Sync” now I can easily save folders on my Mac/ or PC. I only click them and WD Sync will save them on the WD MyCloud.
changes in the reference folder will be stored on the WD automatically.
Based on my small storage on my macbook, I use some external hard disks. Unfortunately I can´t add them into my references in WD Sync…
The storage onto my external disk and on the WD is a little bit cumbersome, and it would be so much easier if I could set an reference for the external disk into WD sync and the storage on the WD would go automatically.
So if I could say to WD Sync “Every time I put in the DISK-xy please check if you have all the stuff onto your storage, if not, please overwrite.” Therefore it would be nice if I can click the single folders on the Disk and tell WD Sync in which folder he should save it on my WD MyCloud. So that I can set single preferences to every folder. Like: “Folder1” save to “Folder3”
“Folder2” save to “Folder6”
and so on.
So final it would be great if I put my disk on my mac, store files on it (into my folders) and WD Sync recognize it, and stores the same onto her storage.

PS: If you have any questions, please write me!

IT WOULD BE SO GREAT IF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE!!!

Hey there Pascal :slight_smile:

Thanks for the suggestion! Will make sure to pass it on!

Did you know that you could a similar thing with your external drive directly on your WD My Cloud device? You can set the USB backup to automatically transfer data from your drive to the NAS whenever it’s connected to it. You should be able to specify which folder and where it should back them up.

Let us know if you have any other suggestions or ideas!

Hey @Captain_WD, @WDStaff,

Sorry for late answering…
I didn’t get shown that i´ve got an answer to my question.

Thx for the notice, I already knew that and used it.

Do you know how it looks about my further proposal?
To use the same function as with an external drive on an PC/Macbook would be still helpful.

Best Regards

Pascal
