Hi, What i am concerned about is the tight integration in the WD ecosystem. The WD My Cloud storages seem to connect themself to the wd servers and opens up a remote connection to enable file sharing and remote access. I don't know if this is a good idea that WD manages that over their own servers instead over the device itself with port forwarding and web browser access. Recently they also had issues with security according to the Heise IT news site here in germany/austria. They recommended to lock the wd devices down so the device doesn't connect to the internet. The cause where some serious bugs in the wd firmware and i also guess the wd ecosystem. I also read some amazon reviews also from the more higher rated wd my cloud systems like the EX2 ultra that some pro users have some security concerns with no https and the heavy usage of the servers of wd. One guy turned off the cloud features though when he started using wd sync the nas turned on the cloud services automatically without notifying him.

Hi Mo,
I completely agree, the WD range are quite accessible.
All the best
Steve

Hi Simon. My personal favourites have always been the nas devices made by WD. when I asked the same question on this list a while ago, the majority of responses also said WD. The synology interface still seemed clunky from a screen reader point of view when I tested the web interface on their site, maybe that's changed? Mo.

Hi all,
I am new to this list because i just found out that this list exists. I am Simon Eigeldinger from Austria. I work in the IT business for a year now in our town hall.
We have some NAS around from 2 manufacturers. 4 newer boxes from QNAP which aren't much accessible on the web interface. and 2 old buffalo terrastations which are pretty old but still work which are more accessible because of the old web interface.
I also had a look at the synology web interface which can be checked out on their website. I kind of liked their interface and since DSM 6.0 i read it is more accessible and pretty well useable with a screen reader.
What do you think?
Greetings and thanks, Simon
