I can't access WDMyCloud device from Finder after upgrading to El Capitan!

User uploaded file


I upgraded my iMac OS to new one (El Capitan). Now I can't access my WDMyCloud hard drive from Finder over my network anymore. I also tried to access it from my Macbook Air with older OS and I got the access. Can anyone help me because I have all my works in that drive?


Thanks

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

I just fixed this problem! I used an ethernet cable to connect to my own network when I couldn't connect to my WDMyCloud device. I switched back to wireless network (Wifi) and it just worked. But I went further too and I could fix it with the issue with the ethernet cable. I had to reduce speed of the connection to 100baseTx and I could connect to my WDMyCloud over my own network.



I hope this will help you guys if you have the same problem with me.

Seems to me that this is a definite bug apple needs to address. I have the same issue with not being able to connect to my WDMyCloud drive in finder. But I could connect using the My Cloud app, I could get in to the settings by typing in the ip address in a browser and I could go up to the go menu and click connect to server, type in the ip address and be able to mount a folder and browse it in finder. But as soon as I tried to change folders without mounting a new one, bam no connection. Time machine back to Yosemite and everything works as it is supposed to without changing ethernet settings. I would rather wait for apple to get it right than lower my access speed to everything for a drive that already feels real slow to begin with.
