Access Photos Remotely through iPhone with WD Photos

Posted by Bumtion Network

As if it is not obvious enough, there are iPhones apps for just about everything. The device’s phenomenal success has come to the extent that many companies have developed applications that can be used with their own services or products through it. One such apps is the new WD Photos by Western Digital.

Available now at The iTunes Store, WD Photos enable users to access up to 250,000 photos inside their WD’s network storage solutions such as My Book World Edition drives and ShareSpace system; from anywhere in the world through their iPhone. The apps can be downloaded for free but interested users have to register with WD’s secure remote access service – MioNet – first before they are able to use WD Photos. Fret not though; access to MioNet is included together with each My Book World Edition.

In case you are wondering, yes, it works with iPod Touch too. You can find out more about the apps together with screenshots, right after the break or alternatively, log in to WD’s official website (http://www.wdc.com).
