WD SmartWare software is an easy-to-use tool that gives you the power to:
Protect your data automatically—Automatic, continuous backup instantly makes
a copy whenever you add or change a file.
Note: Automatic backup protection is continuous as long as both your
WD My Cloud device and computer are connected to your network. If you
disconnect the device from your network, backup temporarily stops. Once
you reconnect, the WD SmartWare software automatically scans your
computer for new or changed files and resumes backup protection.
See your backup as it happens—Visual backup organizes your content into
categories and shows the progress of your backup.
Retrieve lost files effortlessly—Bring back your valuable data to its original
location whether you have lost all your data or just overwritten an important file.
Take control—Customize your backups.
Installing WD SmartWare Software
Note: WD SmartWare Pro software is a free upgrade, providing you with three
licenses for your household.
The installation process gives you the choice of installing standard WD SmartWare or
WD SmartWare Pro. Pro enables you to back up to non-WD drives, otherwise unsupported
WD drives, and the cloud via Dropbox.
