Maybe another way around this idea is to provide a network interface to the drive (LAN connector), so that the drive can be placed next to the “home” Internet router/modem. It would be connected by ethernet (“blue” cable) to the router/modem (assuming many systems have LAN connection ports nowdays)… and many home set ups have “wifi” router/modems.
As a connected “network” drive, it would provide easy connection to many different portable devices via the WiFi signal of the modem/router? Therefore, WD only need look at how to make the “network” connection to the drive (and use the existing WiFi capabilities and existing router/modem to send data)?
