For those who do not want to read all the general information of the product, I think is at the end of comment.

Quest the WD MyCloud?
------------------------------------------
This hard drive is a multimedia storage solution that one can share.
Basically, it organizes its files (photos, videos, and other files) like a normal hard disk, except that it is connected to your Ethernet Box (Numericable for me)
Its purpose, allowing you to access all of your files regardless of location or lon is.
At home all PCs, smartphones, tablets and consoles (PS3, PS4, Xbox) can access it (with levels according uap user).
On the outside, through WD myCloud The application, smartphones and tablets can recover files from hard drive. MyCloud Deskop and application for PC and Mac also allow you to connect the hard drive.

Basically, you have a hard drive permanently available, regardless of where you are, as long as you have internet access.

Installation
-----------------

The installation is very simple, just Jai connected in ethernet hard disk IREL of numericable then I lai plugged in.
Jai then follow the instructions in the manual:
Access from any PC or mac (connected to INPO) dadministration page to the hard disk (page used to configure the hard disk). There I can just copy an internet address in a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) that my return to an authentication page.
Jai had to create an account by providing an email address and a password. Jai received an email confirmation for me to finally dactiver my account access configuration interface.
Jai could then create user profiles (name, surname, email address and password), which automatically creates a folder in the user's name in the HDD.
Basic, all users are private folders (this is to say that they are only accessible by that user in particular.)

In the use
-----------------
Once installation is complete, the (s) first (s) user (s) set (s), you only have to install WD my cloud The application on the PC, the Mac and / or mobile devices can connect in order to transfer data and access it remotely.

On my mac, it is unnecessary to install the software because the hard disk is visible as if He was a USB connected external hard drive
The software nest useful when I'm not home and I want to access it remotely.

Specifically, we are left with a personal cloud without subscription that allows multiple users to record various backups from multiple devices, create a multimedia hard drive (iTunes can retrieve the hard drive for music playback to use avoiding the PC hard drive / Mac for music files.
IREL of Numericable (and I assume all box like this, free, bouygues etc) can play media files on the box (must be stored in a public folder with multimedia enabled the option for that folder in the settings.)

---------------------------------
My return of experience
---------------------------------
In short, today, after one week of use, the photo albums of my smartphone and my wife's are stored on the WD MyCloud, jy have also stored all our photos which were on a single external hard drive. Now all this is accessible from any device connected to the Internet regardless the place where lon is!

JOperation this hard drive cloud to make a regular backup of my MacBook as it is compatible with Time Machine (native function OSX)

Besides this, our videos and music are also on this hard drive, allowing my internet Box disseminate on our TV, my PS3 connected to a video projector is also able to retrieve and read all this multimedia files! happiness! For PS4 unfortunately it is still impossible, only the PLEX software allow it but my cloud is not compatible (range above the east against)

Even if I'm not home, my smartphone (Android) can play videos, streaming music through third-party applications (VLC, XBMC, MX Player) and even downloaded them to the phone memory.
The downside for APPLE iOS devices (iPad and iPhone by extension) because they are not able to do the same den, the only solution would be to go through the jailbreak of this type Unit-

Western Digital should be for internet box, provide a streaming from The application itself (What is certainly possible since numericable The application allows you to play streaming on the iPad, emissions saved in the box)

The applications are not very intuitive, you need getting used to and take the time to look at how they work particular to safeguard photo galleries and all copy / organization's operations.
I find that it Dailleurs Aberant flaw download a second application (WD photos) to manage backup photo galleries on mobile devices!)

In short a great product! I do not regret my purchase but everything can be improved by updates.

Positives:
The size and hard drive design
The ease of installation and configuration
Silent
practice
The price

The Bad:
Lack the posibility of watching streaming videos from a device iOS
Applications WD my cloud widely improvable (WD and merge with photos!)
Copying files (also on the same network) is a little long
The speed of access to the remote hard disk (viewing files) depends on the speed of internet connection when lon is not at home ...
