My Cloud OS5 - Indexing taking forever

Indexing is a process included on My Cloud OS 3 as well and is also required for Remote Access. The difference is My Cloud OS 5 is indexing 100% of the content already on the device.

OS 3 INDEXING EXAMPLE:
If you performed a quick or full factory restore of the My Cloud on OS 3, disabled Remote Access , Indexing will also be turned off. Then copied 100% of the content onto the My Cloud OS 3. Once Cloud Access in turned ON in My Cloud OS 3, 100% of the content will be indexed similar to what OS 5 is doing now.

I hope this explanation helps.
