automatically or to manually check for an update file. The current version number and the
date of last update of the WD My Cloud firmware display.

Auto Update

You can schedule the WD My Cloud device to conveniently check for available software
updates and install them automatically. This is the easiest way of ensuring the WD My Cloud
firmware is current.

Note: After a firmware update installs, the WD My Cloud device reboots. Since a

reboot will affect users' ability to access the cloud, you should schedule
the updates to occur at times when the likelihood of users accessing the
cloud are minimal.

To update WD My Cloud firmware automatically:

1. Toggle Enable Auto Update to ON.

2. From the drop-down lists, specify the frequency (e.g., daily) and time at which the device

should look for an update on the WD website, and if one is available, to automatically
install it and reboot.

3. Click Save.
