User Reviews

The My Cloud OS 5 Android app is praised as a simple, reliable personal cloud with automatic backups and easy, remote access from anywhere via app or web. However, users repeatedly report mobile-specific drawbacks: limited upload options (no Word/PDF), unreliable background uploading, missing multi-file download, backups restarting after interruptions, and UI/readability issues with long file names.

Pros

Automatic backup of photos and documents
Easy to use and fast
Remote access from anywhere via app or website
Works across mobile app and desktop browser
Supports family/multi-user accounts with individual logins

Cons

Android app restricts uploads to photos/videos (no Word/PDF or other files)
Background uploads may not run consistently (uploads only while using the app)
No option to download multiple files at once
Backups can restart from the beginning if interrupted (reliability issue)
Long file names are truncated and not easily readable (no landscape/rotation support for titles)
