Devices on the same network
1. Ensure that your device(s) are connected to your My Passport Wireless Pro/My
Passport Wireless SSD drive or to the same wireless network as your My
Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD drive.
The drive can act as a wireless client device on your Wi-Fi network so everyone
on the network can access it (like a regular network attached storage device).
2. On your computer, open the File Explorer (PC) window or Finder (Mac).
3. Do one of the following:
▪
Windows
: In the left pane of the File Explorer window, click
Network >
MyPassport (or name you assigned) > Storage
.
▪
Mac
: In the left pane of the Finder window in the SHARED section, double-
click
MyPassport (or name you assigned) > Storage.
The drive’s Storage folder opens.
4. Drag and drop
files
from network-connected devices to the drive’s Storage
folder.
Mobile devices (using WD My Cloud)
1. Ensure that your mobile device is connected to your My Passport Wireless
Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD drive and you’ve installed the WD My Cloud app.
(See “Using WD My Cloud App on a Mobile Device”).
2. Tap the
My Cloud
icon on your device.
3. In the top right corner of the Public pane, tap the omni menu icon (three
horizontal dots) and then tap
Add Photo
.
4. Tap
Camera Roll
(iOS) or
Gallery
(Android).
5. Select your items.
6. In the bottom right corner of the dialog, tap the
Upload
icon.
The
files
are uploaded to the My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless
SSD drive. Now you can delete them from your mobile device if you are trying
to save space, or leave them on the mobile device for backup.
Using a Compatible Wireless Camera
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables the transfer of content to and from your drive’s
Public folder through FTP. The drive supports default Anonymous login and takes
advantage of Wi-Fi security for protection. The My Passport Wireless Pro/My
Passport Wireless SSD drive is compatible with wireless cameras that support FTP,
such as Nikon WT-2 and Canon WFT. See Knowledge Base Answer IDs 20556 and
11737 for information on compatible cameras. FTP is disabled by default.
To enable FTP Access
1. Open the My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD Dashboard.
2. Click
Admin
on the navigation bar.
