However, frequent concerns center on connectivity issues, limited support for older models, and missing file-management features (no native backup folders, no upload progress, and limited file details). Some reviewers also flag a clunky UI and suboptimal sharing/Windows integration. Addressing these gaps would improve cross-device usability and overall user satisfaction. ### Pros - Very easy to use and quick to set up - Reliable performance across devices and generally stable - Strong backup/photo management features including auto backup - Remote access and family sharing capabilities for accessing media from anywhere - User-friendly cloud software interface and overall positive experience ### Cons - Connectivity issues: some reviews report not being able to connect or access WD My Cloud - Incompatibility with older MyCloud models and certain devices/hardware - Missing essential file-management features: no native folder support for backups and difficulty viewing file names or sizes during selection - No upload progress indicator and uploads can seem to stall or be stuck - UI/sharing limitations and integration gaps: clunky UI, limited sharing options (only viewable links), and poor Windows Explorer integration ## Similar extensions and apps - [My Cloud OS 5](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wdc.gza) — 727,254 users, 4.59 / 5 - [Secure Cloud Home](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.inceptionapps.localcloud.android) — 693 users - [Let’s Go Cloud](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.letsgo.cloud) — 3,164 users - [Cloud Storage: Drive Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloud.storage.extrastorage.gbsfreespace) — 195,253 users, 4.54 / 5 - [Cloud: Backup File Storage 1TB](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.files.cloudstorage.backup.restore.manager) — 37,990 users - [Cloud Storage - Photo Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloudstorage.cloudfilebackup) — 2,413 users - [WD Cloud OS 5](https://chrome-stats.com/d/jp.wdc.wdcloud) — 2,157 users - [Cloud Storage App: Cloud Drive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloudstorageapp.clouddrive.cloudbackup) — 32,036 users - [Cloud Storage App Drive Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloudstorage.cloudbackup.storagespaceapp) — 3,407 users - [Cloud: Video, photo storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ru.mail.cloud) — 48,558,256 users, 4.27 / 5 - [Cloud Storage: Cloud Drive App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fazconapps.backup.restore.data) — 6,084,864 users, 4.14 / 5 - [Cloud Backup : Cloud Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.backup.restore.clould.backup.freecloud.storage) — 449,126 users, 4.27 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wdc.mycloud)
