Hello,

Blinking green light, means that there’s activity on the unit either someone is accessing the drive or any of the application are reading from the drive.

For more details about the led’s of the drive, please see page 10 of the user manual

Drive is waiting for a command to spin back up from sleep.  My drive goes to sleep but the ethernet lights still blink.  No one is using your drive.  You can do a quick check by just listening; nothing- the drive is off, noise- there is activity on your drive.

The network LED on the back will blink all the time.  It’s normal – there’s always traffic on your network.  Any packet that reaches the My Cloud (such as normal broadcasts, etc) unrelated to disk access will cause blinking.
