Server error can't connect to My Cloud Home using iMac

Thread needs solution

I went through the knowlege base and community groups first and no similar issue was found.

My iMac with MacOS Catalina 10.15.6, and WD MyCloud Home, I have a connection error to server, please check internet and try again. Yet I can use Safari or Chrome to connect to My Cloud Home.  I really don't think internet is the issueas I have WD's latest Desktop app. I am just unable to log into mycloud home using the WD Discovery app. 

I do not have this issue on my pc or mobile apps connecting to My Cloud Home.

Also happening on my iMac were my scheduled Acronis backup to MyPassort (also a WD product) would fail and I would have to physically click on backup now.  After serveral uninstall and reinstall of WD Discovery, I finally left it uninstalled. My scheduled backups are working again.

I have also advised WD Support about this as I don't know if the glitch is with WD Discovery app or Acronis.  This issue is only with my iMac running Catalina 10.15.6.  Both Acronis and WD software are up to date.

And then today I found I had two notifications under the Active Protection Activity tab that a process called KDD was being blocked and that the application KDD was blacklisted.  I imagine that this is what caused the failure in my backups and preventing connection to My Cloud Home.

So what is KDD and why is it blocked and blacklisted on my iMac and not on my PC or mobile apps?  KDD is in the WD Discovery folder on my pc

Do you need any other info?

Thanks

Hello Donn,

Acronis Active Protection might block legitimate processes if they demonstrate the behavioral patterns of ransomware or don't have a valid signature. Acronis Active Protection uses behavioral heuristics and analyzes chains of actions done by a program (a process), which is then compared with the chain of events in a database of malicious behavior patterns.

You may want using https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ to double check the process is a valid process and then add it to exclusions in the Protection settings, see https://kb.acronis.com/content/60193
