Wd2go.com replacement

Legacy Products My Cloud OS 3

Hello All,

I just recently purchased a WD My Cloud EX2 and was under the assumption that I could access this remotely from any computer through a web browser.  When I go to wd2go.com it just directs to an area where I can cdownload the apps to access my cloud.  I am not sure what the point of this website is to be honest if that is all it is doing.  I don’t want to and can’t download applications to access my cloud remotely from the computers I use. 

It appears that they are transistioning wd2go with another website.  Were you ever able to access the cloud via the web browswer here?  Does anyone have addiitonal information on the new site?  Will I be able to access my cloud via a web broswer with the new site?  

Open to suggestions on how to access my cloud remotely without having to download software on remote ommputers.

Thanks!!!

Hi there, welcome to the community.

Unfortunately the EX2 was not designed to be connected remotely from a website. I do not know if the future update on the WD2go.com would allow this.

However you can setup remote access via FTP or SSH if you know how to set them up.

Thanks, can you access the consumer grade my clouds from that webiste?

You can only access the Regular My Cloud (single drive) and the My Book Live/My Book Live Duo.

With next firmware (MyCloud OS 3.0) you’ll be able to access your data from on a browser at the page mycloud.com

I bought EX2 a few days ago and yesterday just got the remote dashboard setup.

I followed the video here:

You may need to set port forwarding on your router depends on your router settings.

After you got the remote dashboard working, you can use the same approch to set remote access of your transimission app and other 3rd apps.

Good luck!
