Update for old My Cloud OS3

While looking at the Dashboard this morning I found this update. I have my old first generation OS3 set up on my Home network. It was interesting to see an update was available.

Looks like that update goes back to 2022. Looks like it disables the cloud access features.

My poor, but still running EX4 is forever stuck on 2.13.108.

Yeah not new by any means.

Edit to add: Been running it since April 15th 2022…

THIS is why I have blocked internet access to my OS/3 devices. Last thing I want is a random firmware update. . . .

Yep. First thing to do is turn off auto update. Second is to block internet access to the My Cloud.
