Local access to the harddisk

My Cloud OS 5 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud

I bought a WD My Cloud Home 8 TB and set it up. I can now access the data via browser and upload data there. That has worked so far.

But what I would like to do now:
I would like to have the contents of this hard disk directly accessible on my Windows desktop, just like it works with Google Drive or Dropbox. But I have not found out how to do that. Can anyone help me?

Did you buy a My Cloud or My Cloud Home? They are not the same device. The My Cloud Home is a completely different device than the My Cloud line of devices. The My Cloud Home uses a different operating system and has different features/options than the My Cloud line has.

See the correct subforum if you have a My Cloud Home device:

If you have a My Cloud Home, see the WD Support section for the My Cloud Home which has additional information on how to use that device including a User Manual that details how to setup and access a My Cloud Home.
