Hello,
Since I have updated my OS to Mac OS Sierra, I have an issue to connect to my WD MyCloud disk.
Each time I open a new session on my Mac, a pop-up window appears inviting me to connect to the disk, by entering my id and password, or as a guest …
I have the possibility to tick “keep my ID and password for future connection”, but it does not work and I keep seeing this pop-up window everytime I launch a new session on my Mac
Could someone please tell me how to connect once for all tothis disk, so that it can map it automatically each time I turn my mac on ?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
there are 2 ways to do that. First one every time you disconnect it will ask for password. the 2nd one involves a script that will mount and login automatically.
Here are the details (too lazy to type).
I use the first one 
for security.
I tried both and they work with MacOS Sierra.
Thank you for your answer.
I have tried option 2 and it seems to work in order to mount the drive
However, I still get a pop-up window asking me if I want to connect as guest or as a user (ID+password)
And when I connect as a user, even if I ask to system to remember me, I get this pop up window everytime
=> That’s the part I would like to skip.
Is it link to Mac OS, or to the way my WD MyCloud drive is configured ?
I have no specific constraint when it comes to right management for this dis, so it might be read/write access for everyone if it enables me to skip the authentification step ; how can I configure the disk this way ?
Thank you again
Hi Antoine
on my machine, MacBook model 2010 with Mac OS Sierra, it only asks me when I login. that is after every shutdown or logout which I rarely do.
When i put the MacBook to sleep it doesn’t ask me again when I awaken it.
the method i use, i went to system preferences, user and groups, highlight my user (only me on the system any way), then on the tab login items, I added the wdmycloud and a specific folder (it needs a folder to continue) and that is it.
I then go to Finder, click on wdmycloud and it only asks the first time (and every time you logout or shutdown but not sleep).
Maybe I misunderstood what you want, and you want always on even if you logout or shutdown?
