MY CLOUD HOME APP

To fully use the My Cloud Home Duo you will need to download their app onto your Android/iOS smartphone/tablet and create an account.

Once you register your account the software will look for any My Cloud Home devices on the local network (goes without saying that you will need to also have your smartphone/tablet connected to your local network).

When the software finally detects the My Cloud Home Duo NAS you just need to press on it to continue.

WD offers an auto backup feature which transfers media from your smartphone/tablet to the NAS.

The app has several tabs so from the activity tab you can backup content you may have in CLOUD services onto the NAS, deliver a download link for the WD Discovery software to your email and also allows you to invite other people (via email) to gain access to the NAS.

 
The files tab lists every single file stored onto the NAS regardless of type (by pressing onto the files you can also open pictures and playback videos).

From the photos tab stored pictures and videos show as large thumbnails (as opposed to the very small ones in the file tab).

Under the settings tab you can check all of the supported services, use the invite and auto-backup features, change drive mode (RAID 1 or JBOD), check the installed firmware version and you can even reboot and shut down the device.
