[QUOTE="chiss, post: 1800515, member: 256650"] I set up the MyCloud HDD using both the website log in method and downloaded the desktop app. For security I will unplug the power until I need to use it, this is a simple and easy solution allowing me more flexibility since it will be used infrequently. The desktop app and browser access work well, from the finder menu I can drag and drop from iCloud to the HDD. After downloading the app for the iPad and trying a couple things I discovered the app is very poorly integrated with iOS 11, it lacks any function with Files so the ability to access the HDD through Files doesn’t work, which is a big disappointment. In the end I now have two external HDD for backing up. I back up both the iPad and iPhone to the MacBook and then that to both ext. HDD using Time Machine. Next up will be offsite backup. [/QUOTE]
