MyCloud as an NAS Drive

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud
1

I purchased the MyCloud 4 TB device expecting to use it as for NAS storage device accessible as a backup drive by all computers connected to the LAN Router. After executing the WD MyCloud Setup software and defining Users, I find that Windows 10 recognizes the drive as a Media Device, not as an NAS Disk. Furthermore, the only way I can access the Folders (Users) on the MyCloud device is by executing the Run Command with \WDMyCloud. I have not found a way for Windows and Windows based software yo access the folders contained on the MyCloud device unless the device is defined as an NAS Disk.

What can I do to the MyCloud device to allow Windows 10 to recognize it as an NAS Disk?

There are a lot of posts on this. For me resetting my router and everything back with static ips/names helped. If you do a search in the forum for post with Windows 10 I am sure you will find a few answers that might help if mine doesn’t

Thanks for your suggestion Johnny. I didn’t know how to define a search when I first posted. This will help.
