What's great about it: capacity, ease of access
What's not so great: setup could be explained better
Worked fine from the start, setup took a while, as it wasn't clear what software from the website would be used. But backed up my PC right away without issues. WDMyCloud for PC takes a few hundred megabytes without doing much. Remote access for Android seems much better. I set up FTP for remote access instead, though it would have been nice if they provided a SECURE version.
Still have to try WD Photo, sounds like it will do what we want, backing up photos and making them available on the PC and Kindle Fire.
This product has... Large capacity/good size
About me... Budget Conscious, Need a simple backup solution
I would recommend this to a friend!
Compatible with...:PC
Verified Purchaser:Yes

Seagate - Wireless Plus 1TB Portable Hard Drive - Gray
Easily access your data with this Seagate Wireless Plus portable hard drive, which features a built-in Wi-Fi network for simple wireless file transfer and media streaming. The 1TB capacity provides ample space for storing music, movies and more.
 

Does this device support streaming media files to chromecast?

It has a DLNA media server - I GUESS that's what Chromecast uses... there are a number of Android DLNA players.

Do you need to purchase My cloud? Or some other dropbox like software of does it come with it?

MyCoud is a free download. It needs Java and MS dotNet - will install those if you don't have 'em - a few hundred megabytes. I think the Android version is better.
