Dec 26, 2015 7:37 AM in response to BernardBKingby Eric Root,Is the wi-fi on the LaCie drive turned on? If you hook the drive directly to the router does it show?

Dec 27, 2015 12:28 AM in response to Eric Rootby BernardBKing,HI, the Lacie Cloudbox does not have wifi. It is plugged directly into the router.
Macs connected to the router with a cable work. Time machine detects the LaCie as a valid drive.
if, on the other hand, the macs are connected via wifi, then I can access the drive to store and retrieve files but time machine does not see the unit.

Dec 27, 2015 11:27 AM in response to Eric Rootby BernardBKing,The unit is under Shared in Finder, besides that I configured it to appear in the Desktop as mounted drives.
The only problem is with the wifi. Do I need to configure something in OS X, the firewall or something else?

When Time Machine tries to function, do you get any error messages?
