So I've recently switched to Mac OS X and am still getting familiar with the OS. I have a WD MyCloud drive on my Network and have several videos and files saved. I can mohnt the drive and it can be seen and files opened, however when trying to save anything to the drive I get a message that says access denied I do not have access to \Volumes. I have no idea how to give myself access to this since I've been a Windows user

Any help is appreciated

Should be able to go to the parent of the external drive, get info, then choose at the bottom add yourself or the admin and then apply to enclosed items. How is the MyCloud drive attached to the network? Also, what are you using the drive for?

The drive is attached to my ISP Router so its supposed to be a NAS for cloud storage. I have most of my home movies of my family and my resume. I can mount the drive fine just can't save anything to it with the above error message..

As stated above in my post. I can mount the drive with the ip address just fine. Can see the contents of the drive however am unable to save to the drive. I've added myself as a registered user and still get the message "no access to /Volumes"

in your mac you will find it under GO >> Recent folders for examples and or under Go >> Connect to server, the drive should be there as well.

As I tested it, (VM/OSX 10.12) seemingly after a reboot you will have to reconnect to the sever, to access the folders/files again... there may be a different way but I would look into Macworld.com web site for theses kind of tricks.

sorry I am no further help.
