@cpt_paranoia I think the point is this. WD is claiming to have a cloud drive, but lacked true syncing features like DropBox, OneDrive, etc. The WD Sync is promising to fill that role, but is not doing that effectively.
There is always the push from leadership to deliver. It sometimes doesn’t matter if your release is ready. Case in point Adobe’s release last month with Lightroom that they had to do two quick releases to address major bugs.
Even WD had the same issue after rolling out the OS3. You have to release stable software and not have major bugs. Since we are humans, nothing we create will be perfect.
Anyone else has stability issues with EX2 and the new WD Sync?
Looks like the content database on EX2 that WD Sync uses gets corrupted on a regular basis, like every day.
If you start getting something like that in your logs (on Mac you can go to Console application to view them):
10/2/15 11:44:26.578 AM WD Sync Service[11250]: [NASVolumeFolderChangesThread:EX2:WDSync] Error requesting metaDBInfo (2.1 API) for share ‘WDSync’ from the Personal Cloud device ‘EX2’. REST error = kHTTPStatusCode_B…
I have just tried WD Sync! This is getting pretty close to a good product. Thanks for the development.
I feel that we are finally getting closer to a dropbox like application.
To make it clearly obvious what this does, allow me to explain:
e.g. I create a new file on my computer’s harddrive. It is sent to the WD Device. My laptop grabs it and saves it on it’s local harddrive. And vice-versa, ensuring that I have the latest copy on my harddrives.

Let’s say we accidently…
All,
I am using WD My Cloud in Mac OS X (Yosemite). Trying to use WD Sync to actually sync selected folders within my username folder. It does not sync or upload anything at all.
It only uploads data when during installation I select one of the default folders as: Documents, Pictures, Movies… in the given options. When after installation I try to add new folders, it does not work.
Anyone having this issue? any solution?

I replied to you ERmorel a couple of days ago about your suggestion not being my issue. Clicked the Reply button, but my message wasn’t posted for some reason.
Anyhow, I have been deconstructing the WD Sync software and now know how it operates. I have also found how to get the software to ignore certain directories.
The one-way sync issue I was having was resolved by one, or both of the following steps.
Delete all the junk files in the hidden .wdsynchistory folders
Rebooting the NAS.

Hi,
I have tried to connect the cloud drive in WD Sync but failed to do so.
When I configure the WD storage device in WD Sync it could see the storage device OK. I also sign in to mycloud OK without any issues. However when I select the device and going to proceed to the next step, it shows the message ‘please wait’ and it seems to do nothing. I could not proceed to the next steps.
Could anyone shed some lights on what to do next?
Thanks
