One only needs to look at the My Cloud line and compare products to see this. The single bay My Cloud units have the FEWEST features of the My Cloud product line. You may not think you were buying a low (or lower) end NAS by choosing the single bay/single drive My Cloud device, but you were. These statements are made in reference to someone on this forum making the statement that low end NAS products did not have the ability to have third-party applications downloaded onto them. I had no presumptions that they even made “low end” products. Good night…įirst of all, I did NOT choose a “low end” NAS. I guess I will just go back to my original process of accessing my movies. Why does WD not allow apps to be installed on these devices but does allow them to be installed on “higher end” NAS drives? Isn’t it just a software update needed, or is it hardware related? And this is where it led me, because I could not install the Plex app onto my NAS drive. Someone suggested that I use Plex Media Server. It all works pretty good except that I don’t enjoy having to “click” through all of the folders just to access my movies. I use my Roku 4 device’s RMP (Roku Media Player) to access my movies through my WD My Cloud device. Now, I have used these devices to store all of my files from documents, to music, to video files. Now, it is true that I did not pay an arm and a leg for these devices, but in no way did I think that they were “low end” products. I have had two My Cloud NAS devices along with a My Book Live, as storage devices for quite a while. First of all, I did NOT choose a “low end” NAS. I’m pretty sure that I will get no satisfaction on this web site, but I just felt that I had to show my disappointment to Western Digital.
