Alternative for MyCloud Home

[DaveGia]

Recently Western Digital withdrew all support for MyCloud Home. This was disappointing since I found it to be a very useful tool to access items on my Mac while away from home. Can anyone suggest a replacement option for me that is not too complicated!?
Cheers, Dave G

I can't claim to have checked out everything on the market in this department, but I guess I'd suggest the Synology DiskStation DS220+.

I have no personal experience with it, but the NY Times rated it the best of the options for consumers, and it's reasonably priced at US$300 or so.

The leading question I'd have for you is: what do/did you use the MyCloud Home for?

Thank you Charles, I used it when travelling to show distant family members my genealogy photos among others.

Ah. The iCloud service could also handle that for you.
