I have a 4tb unit, and I’m a little confused about the LED. I’ve had it several years, and as far as I can tell, my Windows 10 backups are working fine. I can access the folders within the unit using \wdmycloud in File Explorer, and browse for individual files.
If I reset or power cycle the unit, the LED flickers blue for about 10 minutes, then steady blue.
If I try to log into the unit via the icon listed under Storage in my Network, I get a login prompt and the led turns RED. If I proceed, the home screen shows up after about five minutes. The Diagnosis tab shows OK, and the notifications show the drive is 95% full and the power failure I induced. Is that enough to cause the led to go Red?? Dismissing the alerts doesn’t change the LED.
I wouldn’t even to need to go in through the console except it appears to be the only way to create new shares if I add a device to backup.
