Hi!

You don’t need to use the software, go through the HTML interface and use the 
IOS or web apps from there.

What do you mean it doesn’t work for you? I’ve used the HTML interface on 
my Mac and on my Windows PC thousands of times, you need to actually get 
into the Interface from safari or another web browser first and you need 
the address to do that given that your WD My Cloud is connected to your

I use the setup software at:
http://download.wdc.com/nas/mc_windows_setup.exe
and once I setup my folders with permissions I put shortcuts to  the folders on 
my desktop, then you can copy the shortcuts to any computers on your network 
and access your folders. I have a 4tb and 6tb wd drive that is more complicated 
to setup running more than one drive.

I have access no problem via the IOS app.

Re: hard drive cloud storage

2016-01-25 Thread Dane Trethowan
Creating shortcuts is one way of doing things but its not an efficient way at 
all, you’d be better off “Mapping” the shares as drives to find them in 
Explorer - whether that be Windows or File Explorer depending on the Windows 
version you’re using. -

Its a shame that you don’t setup things from the Web Interface as its totally 
accessible and you can do some incredibly powerful things with your drives 
there, the Desktop software is merely a window dressing and even WD themselves 
recommend users of these drives get familiar with the included Interface which 
is not difficult to learn, if you can navigate a web page then you can 
certainly navigate the Web Interface of a WD My Cloud or similar drive.

Regarding the IOS/Android Apps? I’m not sure all the drive management features 
are available through that but you certainly can remotely 
manipulate/retrieve/share your files, send them to Dropbox or other services 
etc.

Actually I’ve been defamiliarising myself with the My Cloud IOS App, been a
