The IOS version of the My Cloud App is excellent and is extremely flexible, you can for example do swaps of files from a Drpobox account to your My Cloud and so on, great for copying stacks of media files from one place to another.

Hi!

I know several list members own one of these devices.

I've been doing some Google searches and looking up sections of the
manual, I discovered that the WD My Cloud units can use both FTP and SSH
protocols, this means in short that a remote user doesn't require a WD
My Cloud account, all the owner of the drive need do is to setup a user
and then make the appropriate access settings as required - what areas
the new user has access to and so on -.

The user can then log on remotely using the name and password the owner
of the drive gave them using their favorite FTP or SSH client, makes for
far more efficient use of the drive.

Only other comment I would make at this time is that the owner of the WD
My Cloud unit would be best to ensure that the ISP they're with offers
them a Static IP address rather than a dynamic one, you may need to pay
a little extra for this but it would certainly be well worth the extra
money.
