WD Discovery 

Hello everyone, I've been desperately trying to connect 
to "my cloud home" for weeks to no avail... I have a Mac Mini M2 chip 
and every time I get the response from the WD server 
it directs me towards some manipulations to be done - see the sreen capture below -
in the system preferences which do not correspond to what I have in my system operating:  
"General Tab" for example does correspon to nothing... 
Does somebody can help me? I'm getting really nerveoux... :)
Thanks by advance.

My Cloud is a Western Digital product.

As such, your best resource would be their support page(s).

Also, if you have installed any WD software that came with the drive, you might be better served uninstalling that and moving to use iCloud, which is built into the macOS. You have a small allowance of storage available to you to start, and can supplement that with a subscription to additional capacity if you wish.


Please see: iCloud User Guide - Apple Support

Please see: Set up iCloud on your Mac - Apple Support


Utilities that ship with third party drives are unnecessary and tend to cause more trouble with the Mac than they are worth.
