So I currently have a My Cloud but it’s running out of free space. It’s also getting older.
I’m considering buying a larger My Cloud Home Duo, but I’m getting confused by, what I see as, conflicting information.
So here’s what I want it to do, as it’s what I’m doing now with the older My Cloud:
- Be able to use Windows to access the drive(s) and copy content from local disks to this My Cloud Home Duo device through a network mounted drive based on the IP address (Movies\ (Z:).
- Be able to power up my Nvidia Shield device and mount the My Cloud Home Duo there so I can access the data on the disk(s) (through SMB).
- Connect from any device on the same network to the disk(s) on a network (ipaddress/name) level.
Can anyone tell me if I will be able to do this?
If I can’t do this, what product would?
I’m not really concerned about public or private storage, but there are conflicting things there too…
Some say this is not a NAS, but the documentation shows a LAN share, so to me it’s working as a NAS then?
I also read I need specific WD Discovery software to get some things done, but hopefully that won’t be necessary if I can just make a share to an IP address of the My Cloud Home Duo.
