No shutdown anymore and no mount option that works

[Bennor]

@M_S

For starters there’s no longer a power down option in utilities i.e. if you need to power down you need to yank the power cord and hope for the best, knowing there’s a good chance you’ll lose data.

We know. Numerous prior threads discuss the lack of a shutdown option with the newer v2.x firmware. There are a variety of methods to shut down the newer gen v2.x My Clouds including using WD Quick View previously mentioned, modifying the Dashboard page with a web browser to temporarily unhide the shut down button, and using SSH to issue the shutdown command.

Past discussion on the missing shutdown button for newer gen My Clouds and some workarounds:

The most insane restriction is on accessing data. I’ve bought and paid for 2T of space - how on earth does it benefit WD to make it so difficult to mount folders in this space I OWN!?! Of course I could use ssh and go in there and undo their crazy restrictions but, if I go to activate this feature, it warns me that doing so will invalidate my warranty!

Not sure what your talking about here. One can create the intial Shares through the Dashboard and from there use Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder to create sub folders.

Further one can “map” those shares or sub folders within a Share to their computer.

You really should read, if you haven’t already, the; My Cloud Dashboard Help, the My Cloud User Manual (http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/?id=439&type=25), and the various My Cloud Learning How To content (http://mycloud.com/learn/?id=mycloud and http://setup.wd2go.com/index.php?mod=product&device=mc) to understand the My Cloud and learn about how to use its various features.
