WD sees families, and even small businesses, dumping their assets on the My Book Live for retrieval from just about any type of device including the iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, notebooks and just about anything else with a web browser. That may seem obvious, but not every personal cloud device is created with the same attention to simplicity and ease of use. From setup to configuration and management of the device, WD makes it just work. Western Digital’s approach to solving the media file overload problem with the My Book Live is to make everything simple. With seemingly more connected devices in the household now than people, the trend around centralizing a family’s media assets is definitely gaining strength as we want to have reliable and easy access to family photos for instance on our phones, computers and televisions, without having to manage several copies of those files. It’s the cornerstone of WD’s strategy to help consumers organize their content and access it anywhere from the new WD 2go mobile apps to the WD TV Live media streamers connected to a TV. Western Digital has long been in the personal cloud storage space with the WD My Book Live.
