hello,

i apologize if this question is to stupid to be believed, but i would like to know.  I want to use this device to access videos in my home, on my tablets, without my desktop being on.  I do not want it connected to the internet.  Is this possible?  Everything seems to geared to accessing my cloud thru the internet.  I do NOT want this. Could anyone please respond.

Thanks in advance,

Sure. That works fine. You will want to use another app other than the WD app, though, as the WD app requires Internet access IIRC.

the android app will access the mycloud locally or over the Internet

If you have a DLNA player app set the mycloud to media serving and each share with content to share to media sharing, this can also go to smart TVs, computers etc

you can also use a file/network explorer app to get to the Mycloud

FYI, the internet access seems fairly secure and the mycloud is not directly connected to the Internet
