NAS WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra - Newbie questions

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud EX2
1

Hello,

I’ve recently purchased the WD NAS NAS MyCloud EX2 Ultra, 16TB version. I need to know further details on two features that I would like to exploit, if possible:

  • I would like to make a periodic backup of my notebook disk on the NAS;
  • I would like to have a folder on my PC to synchronize in order to have a personal private cloud accessible anywhere (a sort of Dropbox or Google Drive to be clear).

If there were detailed guides and/or tutorials it would be really helpful.

Also, which method do you recommend to transfer TB of files to the NAS as quickly as possible?

Thanks so much for the support.

Franceso
