Map a drive to the MyCould put the files on the PC instead of the external USB then copy from the PC to the mapped drive on your computer, mapping the drive when copying always seems faster to me or if you can attach the USB drive to the MyCloud which would be the fastest.
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
C
