our data is stored on the internet for us to access whenever and wherever we want, and the data center is called the CLOUD. If you have Google account, you can have Google drive for free up to 15GB, iCloud is 5GB and MS Onedrive.live is 10GB-30GB. If you want to have more, you have to pay monthly. It&#8217;s good to trust the big companies for store your data, but it&#8217;s also good if you have your own CLOUD. These days, Comcast does provide fast internet service and I try to install a Cloud server for myself using WD My Cloud. It&#8217;s quite simple to set up and easy to use. Their apps work extremely well across all OS&#8217;s. Since this is gigabit capable, we will have to get a new GIGABIT router for faster transfer data. TP-link AC 7 or 9 seem to be good contenders.<\/p>\n<div class=\"igallery\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"preview\" href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300878.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[wd]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4810\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300878-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"WD My Cloud and External USB\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300878-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300878.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a class=\"preview\" href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300874.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[wd]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4811\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300874-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"1TB WD My Cloud\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300874-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/z_P1300874.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The WDmycloud website is very\u00a0thorough with its installation information.
