My cloud os5 app cannot upload pdf files

Using my cloud os5 android app. There’s a large “+ ADD SOMETHING” but I can only select upload images and video files. I want to store pdf files (and sometimes other documents like ppt, xls and doc files) but there is no option to do so in the OS5 app.
However, if I use the web app through the mobile browser, I can upload non-image files with no problem.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just a weird limitation of the app? What’s the point of the official app if it has less functionality compared to the web app?

Hi @mtkk,

Please refer to the below article of My Cloud OS 5: Error Uploading Large Files in Web App:
https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29777

I’m using the android app, not the web app. I have no problems uploading from the web app, so the question is “why does the android app not support uploading pdf files?”
