network drive. Once connected, the USB drive has the following capabilities:
When you connect an external USB drive such as a My Passport™, a memory stick,
or a camera to the WD Cloud device, you can access it with Windows Explorer or
Mac Finder.
The USB drive can serve as a target for backups.
You now have the option of mapping the drive as a user share drive.
If a WD external drive has been locked, when it is attached to the WD Cloud device,
it maintains that security. Using the Dashboard, you can unlock or
re-lock it as desired.
