can I use this product on my own computer instead of in the cloud?

Has worked fine on my home computers for the last 10+ years. Never tried a cloud..

No, and its dangerous to even consider using a device that requires a remote cloud internet service to power your home security. Its just a fancy toy right now. A serious smart home control system should work at your home, not in the cloud or on the Internet. It seems their new edition 2.0 is supposed to fix that.

I still do not feel that the cloud is user friendly. It's complicated to access, but it does work.

I have an MBR1400 at home and do not use the cloud service. So you're good there without it.

You can only install the software on one computer. if you have another computer, you'll have to purchase another copy

I'm not sure. I believe you can. The problem is that this is the worst software I have ever purchased. I seldom use it because it is so cumbersome to do anything with it.

You have to supply your own PC. It is in my opionion a little expensive. You have to piece together different aspects of the software to make it all work together.

Yes, this is not a "Cloud" it's a direct connection through USB. Other Models which called My Book "Live" works like a cloud being connected to the internet.

This can act as an online backup device of sorts, but it isn't a replacement for a cloud back up service such as carbonite. you get a free license for their packaged online backup solution though. The files are all stored on the hard drive locally on the network. The "cloud" portion comes from it allowing you to access the local networked files remotely through a web browser interface, much like an FTP server.

It has cloud capabilities but I'm not sure if it is free. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes you can give people outside of your network access to your cloud. They would jave to download the WD Cloud Setup on there computer and do the manual add device and you would have to log on to the WD Dashboard and get a access code for them to type in on there computer. If you have any futher questions please feel free to ask.

Yes they provide a Windows program and a phone app that can be used to download and upload files for your personal cloud device.

Not directly as far as I can tell but I use it with a PC that's set up as a Cloud Print server so that I can print from my Chromebook while at work.

I'm sure you could but this item is just the dashboard. The computer has to be bought desperately. They don't make it very clear on Amazon.

Yes. And it can work as a personal Cloud Backup as well. Support Dropbox, Box and Drive integration too!

There isn't a cloud based service last time I checked, but what you can do if you are a bit tech savvy is access it directly. If you setup your firewall to allow access to port 80 via a port forward you should have no problem. if you're on a dynamic ip like most dsl and cable internet providers offer you'll need to use a dynamic DNS service like dyndns or something equivalent. It works great for me. I can access and control it with my laptop or iOS devices remotely with no problems.
