The My Passport Wireless drive can be enabled to operate as a DLNA media server. It streams photos, music, and videos to your DLNA-compatible devices so you can play media on a compatible device easily. DLNA-compatible devices search for media stored on the drive if streaming is enabled on the Media page. Streaming is enabled by default.
With streaming enabled, just transfer your multimedia content to your My Passport Wireless drive, and you are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game consoles, media players like the WD TV Live and other computers on your network.
The My Passport Wireless supports most audio, video and image formats However, some devices may not support playback of these files and will require a third party app.
The easiest way to stream content to your mobile device is to use WD's My Cloud app. My Cloud is available for Android and iOS device and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play, iTunes and Amazon app stores.
Before using the My Cloud app, you will need to connect your mobile device to the My Passport Wireless via Wi-Fi. Once you're connected, launch the app and tap "Connect Now" to display a list of available WD network devices.

From within the My Cloud app you can access all of your files and folders, move content to and from the drive and configure it as desired. It also integrates major public cloud services so that users can easily transfer files between their Dropbox, Google Drive public, MyCloud and OneDrive accounts.

To stream your photos, music and videos to your mobile device, simply tap on them from within the My Cloud app. As I mentioned above, you may have to install a third party app to play back some formats. For example, I had to install MX Player on my Samsung S4 phone so that I could play back MKV video files.
