I have some JPEG files on a Western Digital My cloud drive that I

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.
