Been reading a few of the threads here.
It does sound rather like the Home is a bit of a train wreck of a product.
Inconsistent access: Public share can be mapped, but not visible through Discovery.
Private shares can only be mapped whilst Discovery is running.
Discovery doesn’t work on older 32-bit architectures.
No built-in backup. But ‘watch this space’ hints.
There’s an iPhone app, but not one for iPad; huh? They’re both iOS, so it should have been a matter of responsive app interface design. Responsive web design - Wikipedia
No DLNA server.
Terrible write speeds (due, it seems to Discovery getting in the way).
It really isn’t a NAS
It really bears no relation to the older MyCloud family of devices, and yet it continues with the name.
All in all, it sounds like a poorly thought out, prematurely launched product, poorly described by the marketing and name.
To think that WD could have spent the development effort making the MyCloud family work properly, and in a more user-friendly way. What a shame…
I’m out.
