MyCloud P-O-!!!S

My machine is a 16GB I7 developer station....
The administrative tools give you absolutely no control over the data..... It's a multi-terabyte drive, but if you remove a backup and check "remove files", the desktop app locks up for 3 hours while it slowly deletes 1Gb of files.
You cannot tell it to overwrite existing backup
You cannot just run a backup on demand. By clicking the run backup button it tries to run ALL backup jobs. There's no way to just select one and run it.
This is the worse administrative setup I have seen. I don't see how it's possible to create such a horrible experience. I am still watching the stupid hour glass spin while it deletes my backup.....
Oh, yeah and with synchronize on , or active backup where it senses changes and writes those files to your backup.... My computer is pretty much non-functional.... . It's slow and sluggish just switching between files.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does the My Cloud on this Seagate HD work like Dropbox?

Was just wondering if it works like Dropbox? and if not if you can explain to me how it differs?
It works like dropbox because that is the action you want to take..... drop the box. Don't buy it.
