Accessing Your Personal Cloud
This chapter explains how to set up the My Book Live Duo 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 for 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 Duo personal cloud storage. Once you log in, WD 2go mounts the
My Book Live Duo device 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.
