Getting Started Without Online Setup Software
If you don’t want to use the setup software to get started, you can use a browser instead. If
you don’t want to use either, you can still:
 Use your WD My Cloud Mirror personal cloud storage device as an external hard
drive, dragging and dropping files to and from it.
 Configure the device using the WD My Cloud Mirror device’s dashboard. (See “The
Dashboard at a Glance” on page 57.)
 Back up files using USB, Remote, Internal, and Cloud backup (see “Backing Up and
Retrieving Files” on page 71).
