I had the same problem, created support ticket. They sent me few times requests to make reset&reboots of the devices, checks of network etc. After it device still didn’t respond so i they asked to make RMA :slight_smile:

This is a disaster. Same for me. Suddenly no access anymore; shows as offline. If i do ping the IP of the device it´s responding. If i should loosing my data this was the last WD-Product i did buy for the rest of my life and make sure all i know also would not do.

There is a folder “VM” and a folder “RECOVERY” i still can see and access via the Desktop-App, but my main Drive is offline and not accessible :frowning:
Why the hell there is nobody from WD answering ?!?!?

I am having the same issue with My Cloud Mirror. Cannot access files and the status shows offline.

@mbw, The service looks active - https://status.mycloud.com/
Contact the WD support team for help if you continue to see the problem.

We should make a warning to other potencial purchasers. Please post in Amazon, Facebook, etc. that this is a really piece or garbage

Resolved for me. Steps performed by me.

  1. Unplug Ethernet cable and power cable from the device
  2. Just for curious I pressed the reset button once only using a sharp object back of the device above Ethernet port.
  3. Plug in the power cable and waited for one minute meanwhile just refreshed my cloud page, still showed device offline.

  5. Connected the Ethernet cable and refreshed the page and it showed my files.
  6. Files were not lost and there is no change in the settings.

just found this flow here. I now have also this “offline” issue. Searched on WD webpage, followed all suggestions. Nothing worked. Created a case on WD help/support for troubleshooting. Hope, I will get some answers. (offline for the last 10 days!!!) … any suggestions and/or help will be very appreciated. thank you.

My 200$ My Cloud Home 4TDrive has been sitting there doing zip, one week after i purchased it, and that was about 10 months ago. I contacted WD, i had someone on the phone once, he did not resolve the problem, i sent emails no replies. still in the same situation.I got important files in there i just don’t want to send it some where at one of there suggested places for formatting. WTF.

I have the same problem. My WD MCH has been breathing slowly for a week and is still offline. Please help.
Thank you.

I had to change the default gateway in my router from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.1
After that change, MyCloud Home was online.

Di you find any solution
