Until the firmware update December 2018, I was able to sync from my MacBook Pro to My Cloud EX2 Ultra. Since the firmware update, I’m not able to use the WD sync app to sync to my EX2 Ultra and transfer files. I still have access through the WD My Cloud web access and able to see previous uploaded files and can drag and drop files. And I have access to the Dashboard through the IP address. But can’t sync with Admin and password.
I removed the sync app and downloaded what seems to be a newer version. After the download completed and it recognized My Cloud EX2 Ultra, I select My Cloud EX2 Ultra icon with admin as the user name so I signed on with my password but it does NOT recognize my EX2 Ultra password. Any idea how I might get the My Cloud EX2 Ultra Sync app to work once again?
Thanks for the assistance. The Sync process shows both of my devices (EX2 and EX2 Ultra). I can sync into the EX2 but when I try to sync to the EX2 Ultra it indicates my password is incorrect. I have rebooted Modem, Switch and the EX2 Ultra and that did not work. I have access to the Dashboard and the My Cloud. It is only access with Sync that is the issue. And it worked just fine until after I received the latest update with the firmware update in December.
I looked over the procedures in the link you provided and followed the directions that pertained to my device. Unfortunitly I was unsuccessful with getting a different outcome with trying to sync to the EX2 Ultra.
I will try removing the ethernet cable from the switch and connected it directly to the Modem and see if that helps. If that doesn’t work I am open for any other suggestions?
I disconnected the ethernet cable from the switch and connected directly to the router and it worked. I was able to sync to my EX2 Ultra and it is currently coping files. Looks like there is a switch issue with both the EX2 and the EX2 Ultra both connected to the switch.
I went back and checked on the Sync process and I notice it was Synced to my EX2 not the EX2 Ultra. I was very disappointed because I swore it was Synced to the EX2 Ultra. I tried to connect the Sync to the EX2 Ultra and it of course said invalid password.
So connecting the ethernet cable directly to the modem didn’t work.
Now I’m back where I started and can’t sync to the EX2 Ultra.
I’m having the same problem right now I’ve tried everything but nothing works, I followed all the steps I could find on the internet but still nothing.
I made the call to WD Support and a level 1 WD support tech worked with me for 42 minutes. That was unsuccessful. He transferred to a level 2 WD support tech and he worked with me for 33 minutes, also unsuccessful. So far we are still unable to resolve the issue with syncing to my EX2 Ultra. The level 2 WD support tech will email me a procedure on downloading some documents from the EX2 Ultra and email those to him.
Then he will turn the documents over to a level 3, determine the next step on resolving the sync issue, and will call me back.
Stay tune we are getting closer to resolving this issue.
If I may be so bold: I suspect part of the issue lies in the fact that there are TWO NAS boxes on your network? Why do I have a feeling that this is a port forwarding problem?
By default, both NAS boxes will attempt to access the same external ports on your router. The WD Cloud (in the sky) seems to be able to figure this out; and lets you know by indicating (on the WD NAS Dashboard) that it has established a “relay link” to your box.
The sync app may not be as smart?
If you do Port Forwarding to different ports using manual connection settings (either on the NAS or on the Router. . .I do both; but suspect only the NAS box is necessary), then the WD dashboard shows “port forwarding connection established”. I suspect then this will work.
An easy way to test this without playing with settings is to take the NAS that works off the network (disconnect the green cable) - - > wait five minutes - - → and see if you now can sync properly with the other NAS. If it does - - → then you have a port forwarding problem.
WD Support Level 2 took over my computer and asked me to unplug the EX2 Ultra for 20 seconds. Then he went into the “dashboard” then under Cloud Access he asks me to input my email address under “Admin only” and then ran the Sync app to my EX2 Ultra and it worked.
The 20 second unplugging the EX2 Ultra resets it to the factory defaults.
It worked perfectly.
I took my mobile phone and had to reconnect to MyCloud and I have full access to all my documents, videos and pictures.
He did ask if the EX2 Ultra is connected to a modem or switch. In my case it is directly connected to the modem. So this wasn’t causing the issue.
