No you cannot connect the Mac directly to the My Cloud using a USB cable. The USB port on the My Cloud only supports devices like USB hard drives being attached to it.

One has several options. The first is to connect the mac to a Gigabit router/switch using an Ethernet cable and transfer/copy the files to the My Cloud over a gigabit Ethernet connection. A second option is to copy the files from the Mac to a USB hard drive connected to the Mac. Then connect that USB hard drive to the My Cloud’s USB port and use SSH to issue a copy command to copy the files/data from the USB hard drive to the My Cloud.
