Select the device that you want to connect to iPad and click Add To My Account. Once select a device, it will ask what kind of backup you would like to perform for the selected device. Or, Wi-Fi & Cellular data. Select either of the two options and click OK.

Thank you Molloy,

For the reply, a very nice man at WD on line helped me.
So managed to get all to work, except for pre IOS 11 devices.

I used the WD OS5 app on a iPad connected all worked.
Interface was not an update more a list of folders in a browser.
Could not play Pic in Pic mode as an example.
A tad disappointing.

I could see a list of thumb previews to identify the images this is very helpful.
OS 3 Before really all I could see was a jpeg.

I decided to un tick the connect to cloud when logged in.
I then returned to the iPad and to my surprise all the thumb nails had gone.

Had a think and thought this gives me the impression all my thumb nails are listed and held on WD server in the cloud.

Obviously this raised some concerns so I have ditched the app and no longer using the device until I feel more secure.
