WD Revolutionizes Private Cloud Storage Experience with the My Cloud OS 3

Sep 23, 2015

WD®, a Western Digital company, and a worldwide leader in storage solutions, introduced significant enhancements to WD’s family of My Cloud® personal storage devices, including a new, redesigned My Cloud OS 3 operating system (new simple and intuitive setup process, WD Sync™, Plex Media Server, Milestone Arcus™ Surveillance Software and others) offering consumers with greater photo sharing, backup, synchronization and surveillance features, and Software Developer Kit (SDK) enabling enhanced app integration.

WD’s My Cloud OS 3 features an intuitive user interface delivering a rich content-sharing experience, and back-up and sync capabilities that elevate the personal cloud NAS offering while retaining the privacy and control unique to personal cloud devices physically located in the home or office.

As part of the My Cloud OS 3 launch, WD has introduced My Cloud Device SDK and My Cloud API enabling developers to build new extensions, features and capabilities within the My Cloud ecosystem of personal cloud storage devices. The My Cloud Device SDK, based on the Docker™ open platform technology, ensures developers can easily access and collaborate to create customized experiences. Partners already developing extensions and new features based on the new SDK include Plex and Milestone.
