It also comes with a built-in Plex Media Server, a digital media player that makes it easy to stream your favorite media to all your devices. The My Cloud Ex2 is plug-and-play and comes with 8TB of storage capacity, which is plenty for home use. It will unlikely be much use for heavy users with movies and TV programmes of questionable legalities, especially considering Amazon Drive's own T&Cs state: 'You must ensure that your files have been lawfully acquired and are free from any malware, viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, worms, or other malicious or harmful code.The Western Digital My Cloud EX2 is far from the most advanced NAS, the fastest, or the most versatile, but it wins its place as the best overall for most people because it’s affordable and hassle-free. The latter costs $59.99 a year in the US, £55 a year in the UK but gives unlimited storage for whatever types of files you want to upload. That means the same data-rich information and cover art - the whole shebang.Īll you need is a Plex Pass, access to the Plex Cloud Beta (which is invite-only at present) and an Amazon Drive account. Thanks to compatibility with Amazon Drive, Plex Pass users can link their Amazon cloud storage membership to their Plex account and the media software will do the rest, treating any content it finds on an Amazon Drive as if it were hosted locally. Plex has announced Plex Cloud, which uses cloud storage to access media files instead, and therefore gives you access to your wealth of content anywhere you happen to be connected to the internet.
