The WD software makes it easier for one to access the My Cloud but there are other methods of access that will work if one doesn’t use the WD software.
One only needs a web browser to access and configure the My Cloud and the Mac Finder (or Windows File Explorer) to move or access data files on the My Cloud. The current WD Access for Mac software was released on 7/13/15.Īs Cpt_paranoia explained one can access, setup, and configure the WD My Cloud WITHOUT the use of the WD software. The Internet Archive Way Back Machine doesn’t list the WD Access for Mac software in a snapshot of the site taken on 7/12/15. Īs for WD Access for Mac its not clear if that software supported versions earlier Mac OS X 10.7. The release notes for WD Sync for Mac indicate that Mac OS X 10.9 and higher were supported in the initial version (v2.0.0.55) that was released on. The WD Sync for Mac software for use with the single drive My Cloud devices have never supported OS X 10.6.8. So please give us WD Sync and WD Access for OSX 10.6.8. My Cloud is useless if one cannot adminestrate it. Your M圜loud isn’t useless without these tools other tools can do the job just as well, if not better.
Yes, it would probably be nice if WD supported legacy operating systems, but they’re not the only company or software supplier who don’t. You can use any third-party file synchronisation program you are not forced to use WD’s app. I’m not sure it’s the best sync tool, either. Likewise, WD Sync is a support tool that isn’t strictly necessary. This is, IMHO, by far the preferred route for local network file access treat the M圜loud like any other storage device. You CAN do all file management using Finder, providing you link the M圜loud into Finder’s file system. You CAN access the Dashboard using a web browser. You should be able to ‘discover’ your M圜loud using Finder. I’d suggest that this is another ‘hand-holding’ app that probably isn’t necessary, like many of WD’s apps. This is a utility that will discover your WD Cloud device on your network and provide you tools for uploading files, access to the WD Cloud dashboard and other shortcut features. This download contains the latest version of WD Access for Windows that supports the newly released WD Cloud Personal Cloud Storage device.
