(More on this app below.) In other word, there's no extra setup or log-in needed to make the app work with the server remotely.

The interesting part is, after this first step, now even when you're out and about, connecting to a different Wi-Fi network or using a cellular connection, the mobile app on your device still maintains access to the My Cloud NAS server via the Internet. All DLNA-enabled network media player devices, such as the WD TV, will also immediately find the content stored on the My Cloud for streaming purposes.Īnd that's not all: if you download the My Cloud mobile app (available for iOS and Android), the app will see the My Cloud and connect to it as long as the mobile device and the My Cloud belong to the same local network. Macs will immediately see the My Cloud as an available destination for Time Machine backup and the My Cloud will also appear on Finder. From a Windows computer, you can browse for these share folders and copy data (such as digital content) over.

As soon as the device is plugged in, all of these public folders are available to all connected devices in the home network.
