Hey guys,
I’m really interested in purchasing the 3TB My cloud product as it looks like a great piece of kit & I really need to free up space on my laptop and share files between machines at home.
My only is I read a review stating that there isn’t any way to organise files into folders which I thought sounded ridiculous but wanted to check before making the purchase.
I use a Mac & Macbook and was hoping the app worked in a similar way to dropbox with the folder syncing/organisation. Would anybody be able to confirm this for me or maybe have any images on how the folder view looks?
Thanks in advance!
I use a windows PC so the display for a Mac & Macbook will probably be incorrect.
To answer the Folder question:
- You can setup “Shares” are on the My cloud. IE “Apps”, My Vacation", “Documents”, etc…
- Within the shares are your files and folders (if you uploaded a folder)
- They can be viewed-deleted-updated, at least on a PC, as if they were a Directory (Shares on the My Cloud) and folders as you uploaded them. All files within the folders are viewable.
- There is “Smartware” that can be loaded to do Backups from your PC to the My Cloud. It is configurable.
- You use “Safepoint” to backup your My Cloud to another device.
Hope this helps
I suspect that comment was about DLNA content and this is more a client issues as some DLNA devices don’t use folders
Thanks all,
I went ahead and made the purchase.
I’m very please so far with it’s capabilities and running my own network for sharing content; it can lag from time to time but nothing major.
Thanks for the help!
