A personal cloud is your content, at home, secure and under your control. Unlike public clouds, a personal cloud allows you to keep all of your content in one safe place on your home network. With the My Cloud DL4100, you can share files, stream media and access your content anywhere, from the web and from mobile devices.
Before you can access the My Cloud DL4100 remotely, you have to turn cloud access on. If you created a My Cloud account when setting up the device, this is already done. If not, you will need to go into the general settings and turn the Cloud Service on and, if need be, configure it so that it will work in your network environment.
To access the DL4100, you will need to have a My Cloud login associated with your user account or generate an Activation Code through the web interface.
The My Cloud Desktop application is very easy to use. When launched, it will search your local network, looking for WD storage devices. You can also connect to a device manually using either your My Cloud login or an Activation Code.
WD also offers a couple of mobile apps for both the iOS and Android platforms. I installed the My Cloud and WD Photos apps on my Android phone and both were very easy to use. Using your My Cloud login or an Activation Code, you can remotely access and manage the files stored on your drives over the Internet.

The My Cloud app makes file sharing and collaborating simple and secure. Users can easily email files, share files as a link, and print and open files with third party apps. It also integrates major public cloud services so that users can easily transfer files between their Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive public cloud accounts
