Cloud Print Over Wireless Network

Wish I could print from the cloud like before!!!!!!

The Cloud Key G2+ is a must have for any UniFi Network installations. We currently use it to monitor and manage the network, UnFi surveillance cameras, and our UniFi Door Access system. I love this thing and B&H is my go-to for just about anything electronic.

Connected to my wireless network immediately with no problems. Print quality is very good for photos. Print speed is excellent as is the duplex feature. It will be used for work that I do for a museum.

Overkill for my home network, in the best possible way. Full local management, no cloud. Very responsive web UI.

The gen 1 cloud key had a fatal flaw where sudden power disruptions would wipe the configuring and force you to rebuild your unifi setup. The gen2 and gen2+ fix this by adding a small on board batteryto allow for graceful shutdown in the event of power cycling the switch or a power failure. As for the rest, the casing and build quality are nice. The plus model ships with a 1TB 2.5 inch drive for use with protect. The user can swap this for up to a 5TB. The cloud key is the hardware running the Unifi network local hosted browser based GUI. It's a single pane of glass admin panel for setting up and administering your unifi network. Being locally hosted you avoid web hosted costs and outage concerns. Unifi does have its quarks but for a home or SMB user that wants or needs VLAN integration, multiple SSID capable APs, and doesn't want to spend all their time learning to code, it's a great option. I will say it requires modest knowledge and understanding of networking and network architecture but there's tons of tutorials online about configuring and running unifi.

I needed an off computer storage solution for our family during COVID-19 lockdown. The kids were home from college doing their work, my wife working from home as well as myself. I could have gone for a traditional NAS but had read a lot of reviews on unreliability and difficulty setting them up and maintaining them. Although My Cloud Home is a sort of NAS, my understanding was that its much easier to set-up and run. I decided to go with My Cloud Home vs. a traditional NAS setup and very happy I did. Setting the unit up was super simple with the WD application and easy to access from anywhere via the mobile and desktop applications. Everything I wanted to save transferred over perfectly without a hitch. You can set up folders for documents, photos or however you want to do it. The My Cloud Home connects directly to our Netgear router and runs off our home Wi-Fi 6 network. We're on Xfinity and have had the network go down several times since installing the My Cloud Home and it has started back up without any issues at all or loss of data. The only thing I would say is that I should have gone for the 8 or 10 Gig version and may very well upgrade later on. Not sure 3 Gigs (after splitting the 6 Gig memory into two) is going to be enough down the line. But for now were only about 10% full and have a long way to go. Ours is the two drive model so you can use all 6 Gigs like it's one drive, but you loose the double back-up if you set it up that way. I prefer to have a double back-up of the data. In terms of aesthetics the My Cloud Home is a very nice looking piece of kit. We have it out in the open were it can be seen and it looks very nice.... much nicer than the standard NAS industrial looking enclosure. All-in-all, with the set-up and accessibility taken into consideration I'm really pleased with the My Cloud Home. We've been running it a number of months now without any issues what so ever.

This is an awesome little cloud key. It allows so much more than just controlling APs and network devices. I have set up a few for clients and you can also use Unifi Protect, Talk, and Access with these units. Great little cloud key for the price!

If you are looking for a network shared large TB storage try this. I am not a fan of the cloud... So this allows you to create a mycloud .com account or not. The drive still shows up as a computer to share a drive to the PUBLIC folder. It does not show up under storage. If you don't create an account on mycloud then their software isn't any help. Remember their software is to sync their cloud service to your pc. However I will repeat not using the cloud or their software stops it from showing up as a computer to connect to and assign it a DRIVE letter on your computer and everyone on the network. Setup is a breeze. Plug in power and ethernet cable and thats it. YOUR security on your computer (IE OS) will determine what you need to set to allow you to see and use another computer on the network. I wanted a non raid solution for simplicity. I have had several raid NAS devices and I am tired of rebuilding the drives when one of the disk drive fails or the NAS box housing the drives quits. I now can keep a quick backup of computer files for the family on another spot. I just need to keep in mind the mycloud drive has a life expectancy. SO if you want to use the cloud to sync your files so they are never lost. Create a log in to mycloud and presto the sync software works. If I want to use a cloud for safety. I personally would subscribe to DROPBOX and sync my my cloud home drive to it. Many software products have built in support for using DROPBOX over the internet. mycloud from WD is free and can go away anytime and is not widely supported as DROPBOX . Keep that in mind if you decide to use mycloud.com.

Fantastic device and super easy to install on my  Unifi Mesh Network. The unit was found on the Cloud Key, adopted, and updated without any problems. Ive never installed anything so easy as using the Ubiquity equipment.

Got the Cloud Key to monitor our Unifi setup. Not really necessary but it is nice to monitor your network from anywhere and especially if something comes up you can check your phone or tablet of your networks health. Overall a nice addition to your Unifi setup.
