Yep, saves a whole heap of time. Actually I’ve been defamiliarising myself with the My Cloud IOS App, been a while since I’ve used that and its been updated and enhanced, you can play music tracks and view photos from the App for example which is exactly the sort of thing you might want to do say if you’re at work, you might wish ti listen to a few Old Time radio episodes from your My Cloud drive at home.
