Accessing Your Personal Cloud on the Web
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, from the web and
from mobile devices. No monthly fees. No mysterious location for your data. Keep your
videos, music, photos, and files safe at home and always with you.
This chapter explains how to set up the My Cloud device for remote access and describes
some of the ways you can take advantage of its many capabilities.
