Getting Started Without Online Setup Software

If you don’t want to use the setup software to get started, you can use a browser instead. If
you don’t want to use either, you can still:

Use your WD My Cloud Mirror personal cloud storage device as an external hard
drive, dragging and dropping files to and from it.

Configure the device using the WD My Cloud Mirror device’s dashboard. (See “The
Dashboard at a Glance” on page 57
.)

Back up files using USB, Remote, Internal, and Cloud backup (see “Backing Up and
Retrieving Files” on page 71
).
