Is My Cloud right for network based storage?

The My Cloud IS a network attached storage device.

When working with iTunes its important to ensure you copy over the entire iTunes media library to the My Cloud and update the iTunes media library setting within iTunes on your computer to reflect the media library being on the My Cloud. Certain issues of iTunes being working right with the My Cloud come down to these two basic issues. Not copying over all the folders in the iTunes media library and not changing the iTunes media library setting. See the following links for more information on moving the iTunes media library to an NAS device.

Edit to add: Additionally if you already have a single bay My Cloud device and are worried about loosing the data on it, you can either attach an external USB hard drive to the My Cloud’s USB port to backup (using Safepoint / Backup) within the My Cloud Dashboard, or use the Safepoint / Backup option within the Dashboard to backup to another local network location including another NAS like a second My Cloud. See the My Cloud User Manual (http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/?id=439&type=25) for more information on the My Cloud, its features / settings, and how to back it up to another device.
