MY CLOUD USER MANUAL 

Auto Update

Auto Update allows you to schedule your My Cloud device to conveniently check for available

software updates and install them automatically. This is the easiest way of ensuring the My Cloud

firmware is current.

Note: After a firmware update installs, the My Cloud device may reboot. Since a reboot

affects users' ability to access the cloud, schedule the updates to occur at times

when the likelihood of users accessing the cloud are minimal.

Note: If

you enable Auto Update, you are asked to manually reboot your system when

the update is completed.

Updating Firmware Automatically

1. To enable Auto Update, click the toggle button to ON.

2. In the Update Schedule field, from the drop-down

lists, specify the frequency (e.g., daily)

and the time at which the device should look for an update on the WD website.

3. Click S

ave. Once saved, your device will check for firmware updates at the specified time

and day. If an update is available, it will automatically install and prompt you for a reboot.

Available Updates

You can check for available updates at any time in the Available Updates area. This area also

displays the current version of the firmware and indicates when the last firmware update was

made.

Checking for Available Firmware Updates

1. In the New Firmware field, click Check for Updates.

2. Review the Update Firmware screen and click OK.



If an update is available, click Install and Reboot.
