Hi.
As disappointed I am and considering all the time lost dealing with issues since I bought this device, I registered for the beta testing. Hopefully it makes it something a lot more useful.
Being used as a family device, do you know of the other member of family we’ll be able to keep using their current settings? Or will they have to update the apps too? It makes it less likely I’lol go for the beta testing.
Most anticipated features are:
TimeMachine over SMB
TimeMachine size limit per user
proper / native integration with Finder (lots of features are not supported)
integration with Files on iOS
a proper replacement for iCloud photos (moments, intelligent sorting, editing, face recognition, etc.) somewhat similar to Synology’s
yea i used mine for streaming only for plex so like to finally see an update to the plex app, since it is a custom version for these models so WD really need to work with plex to get this updated as plex are not the ones holding back on this
be great to have more control of files and what can be done with them which seeing your comment list before is a great start to features like to see as well
also being able to see my files without the internet is also important as well, since my internet went down last month for few days due to fibre install and i couldn’t even access any my files on my own network which is terrible… so should really be native windows access on a private network regardless if its linked to the internet or not
i got mine setup in JBOD which i believe spanning on these models so like to have vanilla JBOD so can treat each hdd as actually separate volumes so if actually have one hdd go bad i still got some my data on the other so can split my media over the two… if this cant be done due to the way android works then at least give me the option of Raid 0 like the WD My Book Duo
I guess to know which device to get into the beta program.
Only administrators can pin topics on the forum. Seems legit to me. Doesn’t mean WD could make it look less amateur.
Just received the TestFlight email for iOS app.
Where do we share comments? (Already have some).
Looks like big focus on photos a la SanDisk’s Ibi not more powerful NAS.
WD Discovery just updated to 3.3.34 on macOS (10.14.5). My Cloud Desktop still at v.2.1.0.270.
Process is unannounced and the machine appears stuck during install (on login there).
Don’t know if it’s the beta or just a casual update either.
Contact and comments available through TestFlight app…app look promising on photos front along with the smart filtering and editing options.! Look like it’s the rebranded SanDisk/ibi offering that you mentioned…
