I'd like to see the following (I have a mybook live):

1.  Thumbnail preview for video files on all devices

2.  Wd2go currently only creates a remote virtual drive temporarily that lasts only till you turn your windows PC off.  I'd like the drive to be permanently there no matter where I go.

2.  Remote automatic backup of photos and videos for all devices

3.  Pictures and video filed in the same place and treated the same like they are in the camera roll of an iphone

4.  wd2go and wdphoto combined into one app.  That app should also be able to play music easily.  The wd windows 8 app is a good start but it has a lot of bugs right now.

5.  being able to do remote automatic backup between two my book live NAS.

Must say, I'm pretty happy with my drive now though items 1 and 2 above have kept some people I've recommended the drive to from buying it. 

You've improved your software a substantial amount already since I first got my drive and I'm hoping you will continue to do so.  Thanks for all your efforts.

Aucun des utilitaires (WDsmartware, backup, configuration, mise à jour micro-code etc...) ne fonctionne sous Linux, ce qui  est très frustrant.....

Greetings,

I have a mass storage unit that holds 5 - 2TB hard drives for a total of 10 TBs. Over the years I have collected thousands of movies and  put them on the storage unit. I would like to see a WD TV Live Unit that has a USB multi-port to handle all the drives. As it is my WD TV Live will only see the first drive. Thanks for your time.

Would be nice if the WD Live media player would play RM and RMVB  files.

The older model mini played these files.Please update firmware to include these files.

Thanks

I think it would be a good idea if the mp3 player built into wd2 go also recognised and played AAC files the same way as AAC files are now a very popular format.

Please add Redbox streaming to WD Live's streaming services.

Is it just me or...

I have a My Book Live because:

1) I trust a physical disk more than the virtual cloud; and

2) I like to have physical media (DVD/Blueray) to allow platform migration etc

It would be great if software could be developed to get to a point where a genuine CD, DVD, Blueray etc could be 'copied' onto the MyBook Live so that it could be viewed from authorised devices.  I am not suggesting copyright breaches - far from it in fact.  Just a way of getting good quality video onto the Mybook Live to use on my own devices - be they Apple, Windows or Smart TV.

Hi,

I'll post this on the ideas page, but would be interesting to see how many others think this is a good idea (thus getting WD to think its a good idea).

Background.  I've been using "Public" folder on my My Duo Live to share all my Home videos, Movies, Photos, Music etc...  I've grown increasingly uncomfortable with this, as anyone who can gain access to my home network, can effectively delete all the information with no passwords required.  Basically anonymous users have full write access in that share and there is no way to change it.  This could be a guest with their teenage children which stays at our house, and uses the wifi network (which is passworded) and browses around the place and gets up to mischievous.  Or it could be family members who make a mistake etc...  Or it could be a virus on a laptop/PC which looks around the network for things to corrupt/destroy.  Various scenarios could be used.

So, I've moved all our photos etc... to a private share.  This works great, and my WD TV live supports this fine, as does WD 2go.  The only thing which is an issue is the WD photo app as it only supports the public share.  Other users have complained re this limitation.  Does anyone know if WD is planning address as I would think its an easy enough problem to fix?  As I'm unwilling to go back to using the public share, which basically makes this app useless.

I'm considered doing something with symlinks on the My Duo Live itself, but suspect this will cause other issues.

Comments?

Note, I can really recommend the WD TV live, it really complements the WD my duo live, as it provides all the missing functionality around thumbnails/playlists etc...

Regards

Could WD look at finding a way to allow a user to see the full file name when viewing a folder through the WD2GO app on iPad.  At the moment, two filenames that have similar starts but different end parts (eg. a version number in the file title) will show with the same name on WD2GO (names being cut to fit to the available screen width).

A small ask, but one to consider when looking at enhancements for WD2GO.

Currently, each the images within the WDPhotos app for iOS/Android can be uploaded to Facebook manually.

With Facebook etc becoming more and more apart of everybodies life, it would be great if a share button could be added at folder level, and not picture level.

It would make sharing folders with friends/family alot easier than it currently is!

Western Digital used to provide their hard drive diagnostic tools as a bootable CDROM image.   They no longer do this, and their support personnel now direct all such requests to the Window only tools.  Linux and Mac OS X users are unable to get diagnostic support for their hard drives.

Western Digital should release their Data Lifeguard tool and other drive tools like firmware updates, as a Bootable CDROM (ISO) or USB Flash Drive image (IMG).

Love the WD 2 Go App that makes my ipad get my music off my My Book Live Duo and then deliver that music via Blue Tooth to my stereo.  The ipad works like a giant remote or jukebox interface allowing you to choose songs to play while walking around the house, no TV needs to be on (as with WD Live TV, which is cool too).  Great job on the WD 2 Go App and the whole networking thing, folks.

I've organized my music into folders and albums, but I have around 4000 cds and it would really be nice to be able to search by artist or song, just like in iTunes.  It would be so nice, in fact, that I'd be willing to contribute to any project--or buy any WD stock--that was headed in that direction!!

Seriously, it would be SO NICE to be able to search my songs.  I suppose the problem is that you can't know what someone is going to upload to the Live Duo--photos, video etc etc, so a search function could be tricky.  I notice that FileBrowser--a similar app--doesn't have search either.  I hope there is some solution, and if there is, just let me know how much WD stock I should buy!!

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

What would make the wd 2go and my book live a truly great personal/small business cloud storage product are the following enhancements:

1. Merge the functionality of wd photos into wd 2go. You don't need two products. 

2. Please show thumbnails for photo files.

3. Please provide "tv out"  function support in wd 2go on iPad, iPhone.  This will be fantastic to be able to stream to TV directly,

4. Provide support to play .mpg video files natively in iPad, iPhone and not to pass off to another app as in "open in" menu.  This will bring a lot of the older videos into my book live cloud store, thereby increasing demand for storage, which is good for Western Digital's business.

5. Please provide support to email link to "folders" instead of just files (dropbox style).  This will allow to be able to share whole albums. This should be done by providing link to an URL and not zipped file containers.

6. And lastly (for now), provide the same support on iPad, iPhone that exists on Android devices and wd photos on iPad, that is: expor/upload  local device content to my book live.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

K.V. Sastry

Would it not be possible to add a function to the media player that allows a parent to load movies or shows into a file or folder and then say label it kids shows.  The software then plays random files but does not repeat a file that has been played, so in effect it would be like watching a tv chanel like cartoon network etc. I would like this functionality as i would then be able to create a "Chanell" for my 6 year old and a chanel for my 3 year old. by doing this we give the children the illusion that they are watching their very own customised "TV Chanell".......I have a very clear idea of what I want, but perhaps i am not setting it out to you in a very clear way.  If i could program I would design this feature myself and market it because i believe it would sell. lets say i have numerous series but all tucked into folders. i could make a schedule for the week and load it into the software and it would create a series chanel for me using my series media files.

I think that WD2GO should be available on Blackberry 10 since you already have the app for legacy Blackberry OS. Also porting your Android app would be very easy and doesnt take much development time at all. But a native coded app would be much preferable. But you can always do the Android port to Blackberry 10 first and in the mean time develop a native Blackberry 10 app. It will give your customers such as my self access from our Blackberry 10 phone.
