How does WD My Cloud not violate any terms of service?
The little home cloud stores your files and you can access the unit from anywhere in the world with the link. Share it to someone and they can access the files and download them from the box...
If I were to set up a server and host the files off my home network, and share the link with other people, I would get calls from my ISP telling me that I need business broadband and hosting a website or files on my network is against the terms of service
How does WD avoid the legal issues?

>How does WD avoid the legal issues?
What legal issues? There's no legal repercussion for violating a TOS and it's not WD's job to abide by the TOS with your ISP because you signed it, now them.
Most ISPs don't pull petty bullshit like yours OP.

I agree, it just seems that if you had a bad relation with your ISP, they will be more than likely to use this against you. Wonder how this home cloud is taken in other countries too. If it's considered hosting a website, and if an ISP has an automated notification system for small things like this.
Im sure If you were a video editor using terabytes a week running off a unit like in the picture, that your ISP might give you a call and see whats going on...

I love mycloud, I don't think I can ever go back to living without a NAS connecting all my devices.

That would also mean Plex is easily violating
They don't care as long as you aren't using something huge like TB a month

Non shit ISPs don't care about how much traffic you use per month.
