Does What its Built For
Customer Rating

Not much to say here - it does what its built for. Simple cable to connect from your computer (via USB 2.0) to your printer. If your printer is wireless, a data connection cable such as this, is usually never included with the printer - so I would recommend always picking up one with a wireless printer purchase. You never know when it comes in handy!
It only get 4 stars because of price - a little pricey for all the more it is.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not much to say about this, its simple and gets the job done for its intended purpose - an alarm clock. The Bluetooth feature is nice and will sync to just about anything that has Bluetooth built in. The USB charge port allows you to plug in just about any device. It will charge any of my devices in the same amount of time as if they were plugged directly into the wall.
Only downfall is that I would have liked to see a headphone jack for late night listening so you don't disrupt anyone else, but minor set back.

As a CAD Technician, I have to carry a laptop around often to business meetings where we need to project or display 3D models. Other times when out on the job site, it is handy to have a tablet to take notes and photos with for use back at the office. This bag allows me to easily carry both a 15" Mac and iPad Air 2 together, with all the charging cords, packets of paper, pens, scales, and anything else I might need for a quick field trip. It is just the right size - large enough to fit electronics, but not much else. I didn't want something overly bulky, much like many other backpacks are that are made for school. This is very simplified, lightweight, and offers great protection for the laptop and tablet with generous cushion. Oh, did I mention the bag is WATERPROOF!? HUGE plus for rainy days!

I've owned this device now for 3 months and it works flawlessly! Setup was very easy with the provided info graphics, no need to read long manuals and worry about technical data input to be recognizable on the home network. I elected to back up an entire hard drive on my computer instead of manually selecting which folder and files I wanted backed up. With a fast internet connection, the file transfer took about 3 days over WiFi (I strongly recommend connecting the computer directly to the router with an Ethernet cord for faster transfer on the first go-around). After the initial transfer of all the files was done, the drive automatically backs up any changes (new files or old) that you add in the future. You also have the option to use Windows Backup or the exclusive WD software to manage backing up your files. Personally, I think the WD software was much more user friendly, and it still works automatically or on a scheduled basis, just like the built in Windows Backup feature... but the choice is yours which ever method you choose. One word of caution, the drive does come pre-installed with a folder titled "Public" that you can't delete and anyone with access to your WiFi can write files to it. If you save files to this location, they are also in full view to take as well. Several people have brought this issue up in discussion on WD website. While there is no way to delete the folder, there is a slight software bug where if you try to rename the folder, you then have access to lock it down - but otherwise there is no "Public" or "Private" options like you can put on any other folder that you create on the drive.
Overall, once I was able to figure our how to lock down the "Public" folder, I felt much more confident in the drive overall that my data was safe and nobody could get to it. Until I started grabbing files on the go with my iPhone, I didn't realize how valuable something like this really is. Definitely a "must buy" for anyone who wants to keep their data safe and available on the go - even for beginners!

Cloud sharing
Can it be configured for 3 or more people, so that each has their our allocation of space? Each person should be able to access it from a mapped drive letter on their computer. It should also be password protected.
Sure thing! Just create individual folders for each person. Next, send an email invite to each person. Once those emails added to your dashboard (using the included software with the device) you can then set permissions for each folder. Example; Person 1 can only save to Person 1's folder (and from their end, that's the only folder they see), Person 2 can only save to Person's 2 folder, and so forth.
To network each path individually, just click on the folder icon in the taskbar (Windows Explorer). Under network you should see you MyCloud device. When you click on it, you will then see the "Public" folder (along with any other default folders from WD) AND you will now see you newly created folders for each person. Just right-click on the folder name you want to map, and click "Map Network Drive". Your computer will then automatically add that folder under the heading "Computer" in the menu on the left of Windows Explorer.
Hope that helps!
