User Reviews

Users praise My Cloud OS 5 for reliable local backups, easy remote access, and privacy-focused local control. However, they frequently report login issues, stability problems after updates, and gaps in search/UX for folders and filenames. Compatibility with new iOS devices and some mobile media features are also noted as pain points. Overall, it’s valued for local NAS backups and control, but needs improved stability and feature polish.
Pros
  • Seamless, reliable backups to a home NAS with background photo syncing and completion notifications.
  • Remote access to all My Cloud files from anywhere, without cloud storage.
  • User-friendly navigation and easy setup.
  • Strong privacy and local control by keeping data on the NAS (not in iCloud).
  • Long-term reliability and generally solid performance with responsive support.
Cons
  • Frequent login/connectivity issues requiring repeated sign-in attempts.
  • Stability problems and updates that occasionally break features or require reboots.
  • Gaps in search and file-management UX (no in-folder search, long filenames, limited folder creation from iOS).
  • Compatibility/UI issues with newer iOS devices and updates (Dynamic Island, iPhone/iOS version changes) and occasional mobile media playback problems.

Works great but wish there was an easy way to download everything so that it can be saved in another location. In case god forbid the whole system goes down.
