This chapter explains how to set up the WD Cloud device for remote access and describes
some of the ways you can take advantage of its many capabilities.
Enabling Cloud Access for the WD Cloud Device
Before you can use your WD Cloud device remotely, the device must be enabled for cloud
access. To verify that your WD Cloud device is enabled for remote access and to check the
status of its remote connection(s), see "Cloud Access" on page 63.
There are 3 ways to enable the cloud for your smart devices:
 Discovery on your Local Area Network (LAN): If you are on your LAN, cloud access
software will automatically discover and list your device. Once discovered, you can
complete the steps necessary to connect to the cloud.
 Email: If you include an email address when you add a new user to your
WD Cloud device, the new user will receive an email with instructions on setting up
and activating a password for cloud access (see "WDCloud Access" on page 41).
 Activation Code: If you or your users are not on your LAN, you can generate an
Activation Code to provide access to the cloud (see"Cloud Device Access" on page
42),
Configuring Cloud Access for a User
Once you've enabled cloud access on the WD Cloud device, use the following steps to give
remote access capability to your device users.
