I am very new to cloud, so this is probably a dumb question. The MyCloud device is syncing files from my desktop, but what is the best way to simply save files onto the My Cloud device and not have them on my desktop.

I have lots of video files that I want to keep and be able to access from time to time, but don’t want them on my local drive

Thats for any pointers

Hi, the best way that you can do this, is by manually transfer the information from your computer to the My Cloud, basically you need to move the information from the computer to the drive as you would with a USB device.

and how do I even do that? I’m technically literate, but this mycloud interface is not user friendly.

All I want is to create say a G: drive on mycloud that shows up on my PC as a place to save flies to or open files from. Why is that so difficult? How do I do that?

I do this by using “Windows File History”. I’ve created a share on my NAS just for this purpose and in “File Hisrory” I’ve specified a number of folders on my computer hard drives that back-up new or changed files every hour. Works perfectly.
