How to map a WD network drive on a Mac
In order to access and store data after setting up a WD NAS, such as: My Book Live or My Book Live Duo, My Cloud (Single Bay), My Cloud Mirror (Gen 2),My Cloud EX2 Ultra, My Cloud EX4, My Cloud EX2100 and My Cloud EX4100, My Cloud DL2100 and My Cloud DL4100 , My Cloud PR2100 and My Cloud PR4100(Multi Bay) NAS it’s best to map the network drive to one or more of the default shares.
This same problem has begun with my drive. When I installed the drive, the dashboard would not work and I was told by a tech to simply use the web interface instead. Two days ago I started getting the forbidden access notice. I am on my home network and can access the drive with the My cloud app and through the finder. Any suggestions?
