Overview
When you attach a USB drive to the WD My Cloud device’s USB 3.0 expansion port, it
becomes a network drive. Now the USB drive has the following capabilities:
When you connect an external USB drive such as a WD Passport, a memory stick,
or a camera to the WD My Cloud device, you can access it with Windows Explorer
or Mac Finder.
The USB drive can serve as a target for backups in WD SmartWare, Windows, or
Time Machine.
You can map the drive as a user share drive (W indows) or an alias (Mac).
If a WD external drive has been locked, when it is attached to the WD My Cloud
device, it maintains that security and can be unlocked or relocked using the
Dashboard.
You can attach a powered USB hub to the external USB port and attach up to seven
USB devices to the hub.
