WD My Cloud is said to be fine in Windows 7 and Windows 8, but after upgrading to Windows 10,В an increasing number of users report that they find Windows 10 doesnвЂ™t recognize WD My Cloud or WD My Cloud Windows Explorer cannot access.В Here are an example taken from WD community.

The Problem: WD My Cloud Windows 10 Cannot Access But a bunch of users finds they cannot access WD My Cloud in Windows 10. Thus,В due to its accessibility, ease of sharing and management, security, and good compatibility,В it attracts many usersВ worldwide. Besides, it works seamlessly with Windows Backup, for example, File History or Backup and Restore (Windows 7), Time Machine and your phone's camera roll.

Both sides of the interface ought to be working together to resolve it whether they are is another matter.WD My Cloud is one of the most popular personal cloud storage thatВ allows youВ to backup your photos, videos and filesВ from your external drives, USBs, mobile devices, computers, and cloud accounts while saving them in one place.В With the My CloudВ app, you can access, upload and share your content from anywhere with a network connection.ДЄnd you can easily find your files by searchingВ date, time, or keyword, creating photo albums, andВ private space for users added to your devices. The fact that Apple and Microsoft have rolled out new operating systems that break previously working installations is poor thereвЂ™s a strong argument that it is their fault, and not WDвЂ™s, but itвЂ™s also possible that WD havenвЂ™t implemented some protocols correctly, and maybe the new OS adheres more strictly to standards, and thus the MC no longer works. With some simple additions to the Dashboard, and a better user manual, the device could be made very simple to manage. It is, though, very worth reading, especially after the poor introductory setup sections the sections describing how to manage the device using the Dashboard are pretty good, but could still be improved.

ItвЂ™s actually pretty simple, just that the manual is pretty poor at guiding the user through setup, and adding features incrementally, as required/as the user learns more about the device. Having learned how to drive the thing via the Dashboard, when I bought a second unit, I had it setup and running as I wanted it within 10 minutes of opening the box. The problem is that, if something goes wrong with this process, the naive user is left high and dry. I think part of the problem is WDвЂ™s attempt to make setup automated, using the setup program, and various utilities you can load onto the PC. ItвЂ™s true that it can be difficult, but itвЂ™s also true that it can sometimes be very straightforward.

I do wish WD made it clear on the packaging that some considerable computer knowledge is required to get it all going. Have I missed something basic here do you think? And Win+R doesnвЂ™t bring it up in the window when I Browse. I started off with great hopes as this seemed so straightforward.

#Wd my cloud browse in explorer Pc#

Unfortunately that PC died and now I start all again with Windows 10. I must have spent hours (if not days) of my life getting it to work. I originaly purchased My Cloud to go with my old Windows Vista PC (now deceased). I click here, then there, and before I realize what has happened IвЂ™m in a worse state then when I started. The other thing that scares me witless is the law of unexpected consequencies.

I had hoped that I was now so close it would be a simple task to just finally get over the finishing line. I had understood to make my network private (done) and my items discoverable (done). But, to be frank, a lot of it I couldnвЂ™t understand.

Bennor - Yes, I had seen that post and read through it.
