Will changes get lost on firmware upgrade?

OK, have an update on this.   Logged onto my MyCloudMirror over SSH and had a poke around the filesystem.

You can find the URL’s of the existing apps:

The files themselves open up in 7ZIP, are are Tar.Gz files.   There is some signing going on, but I’m not yet sure if it’s checked when installing packages manually (I hope not).

From there, I discovered they use a packaging format called APKG, and a google on that, came up with a SDK for DLINK who also use this format…

Other interesting things…

Interestingly, the Transmission package only seems to include the Transmission WEBUI, so I assume that the built in P2P system that the MyCloud uses is already Transmission.

Will post back further info if I get any custom apps working.
