My Cloud Folder Created on Your Local System Hard Drive
Installing and configuring the WD Sync software on your computer creates a My Cloud
folder on your local system hard drive as described below.
For Windows XP
<system drive>\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Cloud on Windows XP
computers
For Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows7, Windows Vista and Mac Computers
<system drive>\Users\<your user name>\My Cloud on Windows 10, Windows 8,
Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac computers.
The My Cloud folder on the local system is paired to a folder on your My Cloud device. The
path on the device is:

<network-attached drive>\WDSync\WD Sync for device admin users named admin
 <network-attached drive>\<your user name>\WD Sync for:
-
Device admin users not named admin
-
Device nonadmin users who know and used the admin user password
 <network-attached drive>\Public\WD Sync for all others
Copying Into the My Cloud Folder
When you copy a file or folder into the My Cloud folder on your computer, the WD Sync
software automatically copies it to the WD Sync folder on:
 Your My Cloud device
 Any other computer in your network with the WD Sync software installed.
Then, whenever you change or delete a file in the WD Sync folder on any device, the
WD Sync software replicates the change on all of the other devices.
WARNING! The WD Sync software is designed for data files. It is neither intended nor
suitable for syncing your applications or executable program files.
