One central place for everything
Everyone loves taking pictures, creating accessible documents, and knowing that at the end of a project, everything is secure. Thankfully, consumer cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive have provided this service. However, consumers are required to pay for them and, when necessary, the additional storage. With this problem in mind, Western Digital set out to change the way we access everything.
Introducing, My Cloud Home. This personal cloud storage presents options for both home and general consumers. Now, you can have your data stored in your own cloud storage without having to worry about all the restrictions from the public cloud service provider. It will easily connect to your phone via the My Cloud Home app, allowing you to access, upload, and share your content from anywhere with an internet connection.
Share and collaborate
This device is made for all because sharing is caring. Invite your friends or family to collaborate with you on your My Cloud space; share photos, videos, or files back and forth. Everyone added to your device can also set up their own private cloud that only they can access. And in case you forget to backup your memories, the My Cloud Home will wirelessly connect and backup your phone’s camera roll. My Cloud Home makes it easy to locate files as well. On your account, you can search by date, time, or keyword to find a past or recent video. No more forgetting where that one picture is and scrolling for hours. You want it; you got it.
Anywhere, anytime
If you’re out on your annual family road trip, no worries: Home is where your internet connection is. Now you can stream music and movies with Sonos, Google Chromecast, and the Plex Media Server. With Wi-Fi, you have your entire home database at your fingertips.
Stay home
Available at the Western Digital Store, My Cloud Home has a 30-day money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty. It’s on the pricey side, at a retail price of $199.99. But this device guarantees safekeeping and free storage for what you care about most.
