This chapter explains how to set up the My Book Live drive for remote access and
describes some of the ways you can take advantage of its many capabilities.
WD 2go: The Pathway to Your Personal Cloud
A personal cloud is your content, at home, secure and under your control. Unlike
public clouds, a personal cloud allows you to keep all your content in one safe place
on your home network. Share files, stream media, and access your content
anywhere. No monthly fees. No mysterious location of your data. Keep your videos,
music, photos, and files safe at home and always with you.
If you can access the Internet from a computer, you can securely access your media
and files anywhere in the world. WD 2go web access provides fee-free remote
access to your My Book Live personal cloud storage. Once you log in, WD 2go
mounts My Book Live to your computer like a local drive and your remote folders are
available on your Mac or PC. Seamlessly open, save as, and attach files to emails
from this virtual drive.
Note: Copying or streaming content from your home will likely be limited by your
ISP's upload bandwidth. For example, a typical home Internet connection
(ADSL or Cable modem) may have an upload limitation of 500Kb/s (0.063
MB/s), so that copying a 2GB movie would take 8.8 hours and copying a
typical 2MB MP3 music file would take just 32 seconds. If you plan to copy or
stream data regularly from your home, you may consider upgrading your
Internet connection.
