Hmm, looks like I spoke (and “solved”) too soon…
Now I’m back again with Smartware Quickview only showing up the “wake device” and “forget device” options for the MyCloud on both laptops (connected by wifi via the router), although the older desktop machine (WinXP) connected by LAN still gives the full list of options under Quickview.
All machines can see and read/write to the MyCloud fine, but it doesn’t inspire confidence that Smartware is still there backing up everything to the MyCloud from all the devices. I’m starting to wonder if it’s either a speed issue on the network (as the router is quite an old 802.11b/g one, on my shopping list for upgrade), either directly or on the communications to the MyCloud’s CPU. The speed when copying to it is a little slow due to the router, so I guess it’s possible (and if too many devices are talking to the MyCloud then the communication to some of them can sometimes drop out and stop).
Any thoughts or similar experiences out there?
