I’ve got 50+ 2hr playlists to re-create (through no fault of my own) because they no longer function without the My Cloud Home function on Sonos. Thankfully now I can access and manage my files without the clunky My Cloud Home interface and regular service outages which plagued me previously.Īnyway, must get on. My experience of being cut adrift of the plug + play functionality of My Cloud Home when, without warning, it ceased to function with Sonos, could have been handled better. My Passport My Cloud Home My Cloud My Book Internal Drives / SSDs WD Elements / WD easystore Embedded & Removable Flash WD ReadyView Legacy &. When cloud services are available use the Web app. This method is only if cloud services are not available. Up to 5 local users can access data at the same time. Western Digital provides data storage solutions, including systems, HDD, Flash SSD, memory and personal data solutions to help customers capture and preserve their most valued data. Network-mapped drives will only provide data for the user account that has local access enabled. I still find it difficult to believe that my situation is so unique that I fall outside of what the security protocols of My Cloud could tolerate. The Private User space can also be seen in Windows Explorer and macOS Finder when Local Access is turned on. Local Network Access applies to network-mapped drives on a local network. Until then, most of the advice I was given appeared to be reliant on being able to make a ‘Local’ rather than a ‘Direct’ connection to my device - a situation that to this day, remains unresolved (despite going to the lengths of re-locating my desktop so that it could plug directly into the shared router). Interesting then that this ‘ non-problem’ should require 2 x forum postings along with 11 separate interactions with Western Digital Customer Service and Support (including 3 x 1hr+ live chats/phone calls) before a functioning work-around was finally discovered: Using the Public share and not the Private Share to resolve the issue. The MCH ‘enable local access’ is there for a reason, and that is to provide some security against anyone on the local network accessing the My Cloud Home private folders without authorization, just as one would not wish to leave one’s router completely open to anyone on the local network. Thank you for closing out this issue, but you could easily provide the link to the solution on the Sonos community forum where apparently you and another user discussed this ‘problem’ which was not really a problem if one just enable My Cloud Home (MCH) local access which could have provided password enable local access to the private MCH space. No SMB, no NT LAN Manager, no file sharing adjustments. Problem was finally resolved when it was discovered that contrary to all the advice and how-to instructions, the target folder containing the digital music files could not be found within the password protected, private space.
