The WD consumer NAS offering takes to the cloud with My Cloud-- an update on the My Book Live NAS portfolio promising a "complete" personal cloud solution within upgraded internals and externals.
My Cloud drives feature ethernet connections, USB 3.0 ports and dual-core ARM processors, allowing transfer files between PCs and various online storage services, including Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive and WD's own My Cloud service.
In addition customers get iOS and Android mobile device apps (existing WD2Go apps as renamed to My Cloud), as well as a Windows/OSX desktop app for further file management and SmartWave Pro PC backup software (Mac users get Time Machine support).
All My Cloud drives are also DLNA-compatible for digital media server applications.
My Cloud drives are available now in 2 or 3TB capacities. A 4TB option will follow on November 2013, together with NAS in 2- and 4-drive configurations.
