Every app-folder has a start. I simply installed the official dropbox app and modified its start. Still, you guys should consider making an app for the WD devices. Daedalus June 8, , am 1. Hey everybody, first of all, I want to thank all the developers for their hard work.

For one, the support for media streaming is also extremely limited. You can basically playback only the types of content natively supported by the mobile device.

And only music can really be streamed; other content first needs to be buffered temporarily downloaded onto a mobile device before it can be played. For example, if you want to view a photo that resides on the My Cloud EX2 using an iPad, the mobile app would first buffer the entire photo before displaying it. This makes viewing even a small photo take quite a bit of time and makes it virtually impossible to stream video over a cellular connection. The design of the app itself could also use some improvements.

First, there's no search, meaning you have to manually browse for content. And since the content is not automatically organized by type, you generally have to dig though folders and sub folders to find what you want. This might be OK if you have just videos or not much content to go through, otherwise, this could be a frustrating experience, especially with music or photos.

To make things worse, there's no back button to bring you back the previous folder level. Instead, you have to awkwardly go back to the beginning each time you simply want to reverse one step. Impressive performance What the EX2's mobile app lacks, the server more than makes up for in performance.

Chances are you'll see higher numbers if you choose to use the server in RAID 0, however, note that RAID 0 is not recommended at all, because of the fact that if one of the internal drives fails you'll lose data stored on both.

The My Cloud EX2 overall worked well in my testing. It didn't produce any noise and never got hot. Thanks to having two internal drives, the new server offers data redundancy as a safeguard if one of the drives fails. That, plus the excellent performance, the affordability, and the ease of use make it an ideal choice for an entry-level, yet robust, network storage device.

This small and speedy portable drive will come in handy for anyone who needs to carry Here's CNET's Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.
