Windows 10 can't see My Cloud workaround

[JAC70]

The best solution I have found for the My Cloud disappearing is to make my router the Samba Master Browser and to turn off the Computer Browser service in all networked Windows PCs to stop contention issues.

Suggestion for MyCloud poor responsiveness over Samba

I was having trouble with MyCloud taking a long time to appear in File Explorer, as well a mysteriously failing to respond after being in use for a while. I resolved this issue by a) making my router the Samba Master Browser (requires compatible firmware), and b) editing the Samba configuration file on the MyCloud to remove it from Master Browser contention. /root/etc/samba/smb-global.conf [global] local master = no domain master = no preferred master = no os level = 0

I also reset the network on a couple of troublesome PCs with netcfg -d and after a reboot of the PC the My Cloud appeared. (Use with caution.)
