Windows 10: WD My Cloud Home risk management

Straight to the point:



If I want a more reliable backup for my windows, and I decided to take cloud storage from WD for example.



What happens if my cloud home storage gets damaged and doesn't work anymore? Do WD servers take backups of my data or is my cloud device is the actual server and my data is gone forever?

WD my cloud - connectivity issues after win10 update

Hi,

I have connectivity issues with my WD my cloud mirror 4TB after a regular windows 10 update - I previously had win10 installed in this computer and there were no problems. I have read many threads in the forum
but I have not been able to see this exact issue.

Summary of the issue:

• 
  When I try to access WD my cloud through windows explorer it shows that credentials entered are wrong
  
• 
  When I try to access WD my cloud through my web browser using the static IP address asigned to the devided, it displays a message saying that website cannot be accessed
  
• 
  When I try to access WD my cloud through the official app, it shows a message stating that device could not be found
  
• 
  This problem only happens in my main computer. I can still access WD my cloud from other laptops either using win explorer, web browser or the app.
  

Things I have tried and have not worked so far:

• 
  Change my WDmycloud user and credentials (using another laptop)
  
• 
  Delete network connection (Net Use * /delete)
  
• 
  Delete WD credentials using windows credentials manager and rebooting
  
• 
  Use RegEdit (1. Create a Dword called 'AllowInsecureGuestAuth' in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorks, 2. Set the new value to 1, 3. Then close Regedit and Reboot.)
  

Any suggestions are very welcommed


Many thanks,

 

WD my cloud - connectivity issues after win10 update

Hello Andres,

We would like to check if you're still encountering the issue.

Keep us posted.

 

Installed Windows 10 and can no longer use my WD Personal Cloud Storage

I tried your suggestions. Method 1 said it fixed a hardware issue (didn't tell me what it fixed). When I went to look at the WD My Cloud, it still didn't show up in File Manager.

I tried Method 2 and the WD My Cloud doesn't even show on the list. When I look at the Control Panel under Devices, it shows the Cloud. When I click on the device, it says "Status Not Connected".

I'm stumped. I tried installing new firmware, but that didn't seem to do anything either.
