WD My Cloud Integration
Organize your Western Digital My Cloud storage automatically with AI-powered file naming. Keep your personal cloud perfectly structured without manual effort.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do my files stay on my local network?
- The files are sent from your local computer to our secure cloud API for processing and then renamed directly on your WD My Cloud drive. They are deleted from our servers immediately after processing.
- Does my computer need to be on all the time?
- The computer running the renamed.to desktop app needs to be on and connected to the network for the real-time processing to occur.
- Can this organize my existing photo library?
- Yes, after setting up a watched folder, you can trigger a "Backfill" process to organize all the existing photos and documents in that folder.
Before You Connect
- A WD My Cloud device accessible on your local network
- renamed.to desktop app installed on a computer on the same network
