I have a My Cloud Storage, It's not my server just a separate storage I backup things to
I can't seem to get files on it from my Mac5
but I can get files to it from my Mac6
I get this message from Mac5
I did update El Capitan on Mac5 yesterday, and I updated El Capitan on Mac6 the day before
Delete the offending .DS_Store file. They aren't important.
I don't see it, How do I view those?
Thanks!
Hidden mac system file. You have to unhide them.

or just plug the drive into a PC. ;)
Thanks!
Looking at my Folders on a pc and I can see my Files are creating a lot of hidden items
not just DS Store, is this normal?
I'm getting hidden files of the pdf names indy names and folder names
The Mac always creates 2 files. One with the regular name and another hidden file with the same name only it has a period at the front. Any file name on a Unix system that starts with period is a hidden file. On the Mac file system there is a data fork and a resource fork. The resource fork is the hidden one that starts with a period. A resource fork stores information in a specific form, containing details such as icon bitmaps, the shapes of windows, definitions of menus and their contents, and application code.
It isn't the end of the world if you lose that file but the Mac will just re-create it on the Mac file system.
It sounds like WD My Cloud Storage isn't too smart about the Mac file system.
But...
QuoteMy Cloud is also compatible with Apple® Time Machine® for Mac® users to keep their content safe and sound.
Are you using Time Machine to do your backups?
:embarrassed: No I don't know how
But believe it or not we have a sales guy here who set up the My Cloud
and he fixed the problem. There was something wrong with it.
Mac6 started having a problem with it too.
