I have some JPEG files on a Western Digital My cloud drive that I would like to extract. I regret ever getting involved with it but now I need to get the files off it and the software they provide to do that is for Windows. Has anyone found a way to do this with Fedora, F-32 preferably?
I have done it in the past, though I've usually used such devices with a Mac (which handle them easily, but the WD Cloud is crap at individual users owning their own files).
If the device is set up properly (there's user-account options available in its webpage interface), then they support Samba (SMB) and can support NFS, can support FTP. Some may even have a rudimentary file browser in their webpage interface.
If you're at the end of your tether, you can disassemble the cloud device, and plug the hard drive into a spare SATA port on your computer, or use one of those SATA to USB adaptors, and just mount the drive. I've done that with a cloud that bricked itself, plugged it into my Linux box, and double-clicked the icon that appeared on the desktop for the large partition, and the system mounted it for me.
