Thank you!
I have: WD 2TB My Cloud Personal Network Attached Storage - NAS - WDBCTL0020HWT.

My model is merely an enhanced LAN drive that I use for automated LAN backups and storage of PC files, including my Calibre Libraries. It is a 'personal storage device' on a LAN.

My Cloud is to Synology what a VW Bug is to a modern luxury SUV.

I bought a Raspberry Pi 4 to be a true NAS that can run any Linux application that technically fits on it, including Calibre with its server that I access from my Android tablets and phones.

Go into the control panel for your specific My Cloud model (you didn't say), find 'Add Apps' or the equivalent, and discover what apps are supported on its locked-down Linux-derived OS. Mine has very few, and they are for audio & video media streaming only. I hope you get lucky.
