Easy to use NAS? Trouble with file loading
Hi all,
I've been using a WD MyCloud for a couple of years. I still buy CDs, rip them on my desktop, then transfer to the NAS with File Explorer. This is a very laborious and time consuming process which does not always work the same way twice. The W10 pc with a usb storage device is connected to my router with ethernet, as is the NAS, and recently a transfer of a moderate sized set of files failed multiple times over the course of several hours until I canceled the job. I find it incomprehensible that WD does not have a basic file transfer dialog that comes with the HW. I'm tired of screwing with it.
Do any of you use a NAS which is easy to copy files into? Or a simple to use recommended process other than file explorer?
Thanks
