I’m always willing to try something so I did just as the article said and when it came back after the reboot the My Cloud Home drive still wasn’t showing up in the finder. Just to be thorough I uninstalled and re-installed WD Discovery but still nothing. Was good idea but I’m afraid we’re still waiting on a solution from WD.
Running with the same problem here. I hope they solve this thing out
My Air with M1 chip said “A program tried to load new system extension(s) signed by Western Digital Corporation Branded Products Group” that need to be updated by the develop." This does not seem to be too difficult for WD to do but they just refused to do it quickly, if not at all. The customer support is a joke.

Let’s hope they update this soon. You would think a large corporation like this would be proactive with compatibility issues. It’s not like Apple springs this on them with no notice.
We deserve better customer service.

this doesn’t work on M1 chip macs
Western Digital expects to have an update to WD Discovery that will mount the My Cloud Home drive on macOS M1 Processors by July 2021.
Found here: https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30044/kw/m1
Meanwhile I switched from MyCloud Home to a Synology DS220j and I couldn’t been happier. Took weeks to transfer all the data via an old Mac, but now everything is set up.
Had a problem I couldn’t solve, wrote the Synology support, got a reply within a couple of hours with a perfect explanation to fix my problem. WD lost me as a customer forever.
Oh my… Very bad customer support. I also am switching to a new QNAP NAS as I am not willing to wait another 6-7 months. Will probably configure WD to back up my QNAP.

Ah okay. But how can I get my Files from the Home NOW ? I sold it and must send it to the new Owner but need my Files to upload it to iCloud 2TB.
Only with Web Version or can I plugin it direct to the Computer?
Is EdgeRover now the new App that they talking about?
I got a invite to the Beta.
How do i get that?
EdgeRover does not resolve this issue. The drive can not be selected if connected over the network and as such does nothing to resolve the issue of accessing the My Cloud Home via the network on an M1 Mac AND I believe the app to be x64 only running under Rosetta 2. Happy if anyone can prove me wrong though.

WD support needs to improve. Such a big company. It shouldn’t take them this much time to release update for M1 processors

Is there any way to connect direct through finder using the IP address? I cannot get past the username/password. It’s ridiculous I have to upload everything through the web app. Edge rover does not even recognize the My Cloud Home.
My 12tb easystore and 8tb My Book external drives keep crashing every few hours on my Mac Mini - M1. This is not acceptable to be at risk of loosing big data like this. WD please fix it asap.
There is a Timemachinebackup folder visible on the network and I can copy paste files/folders on that and on a local network I can at least use it as a local NAS
