Hi!
When you first set up your WD My Cloud you'll set up a My Cloud account
for yourself and yes it can be used for streaming for those times when
you're away from your home, you can use another Windows computer for the
streaming, mobile phone etc.

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.

They can also access the content on the wd mycloud app. The one for
ios is pretty nice.

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.
