    Hi


    I have a WD My Cloud 2tb network drive this is used for all normal everyday storage ie office docs etc and it also acts as my media drive so has movies and music on a seperate partition

    I back this up daily to a WD external usb3 drive and to date all has worked fine

    I am now creaking as the 2tb drive is almost full can anyone tell me best option for upgrade

    I would need Network drive and a backup

    Thanks

    If you're happy with it just buy one of the newer larger ones.

    The app just mounts an SMB share for you, its a roundabout way to the same thing. Unless you're a linux user then its a bit of a pain but with SSH support you can work around it.

    I'm connected to the 3TB as we speak:
