A:Answer I purchased a My Cloud, and then got the My Cloud Home when it came out to compare. From what I've seen, the main differences are that the MyCloud Home has a faster ethernet link (1 Gig) and faster internal processor, but the tradeoff is that for some reason WD made the decision to take away the Admin console that comes with the original MyCloud. This would allow you to set up permissions and share folders across multiple users (for instance, you, your spouse, and your kids could all have their own separate storage space, but you could also set up a shared "Family" folder that you all had access to in order to share files\photos\etc... that everyone in your family had access to. The MyCloud Home does not allow you to do that. You each sign up and get your own separate space, but you do not have the option of setting up any shared folders. This makes absolutely no sense to me and I don't see why WD would choose to come up with an update to their product line that actually removes useful functionality that was already available on previous versions. Weighing taking the MyCloud Home back because of this.
