There is a better way of archiving your photos, files, documents and more rather than the publicly offered cloud storage such as Dropbox, & Google Drive.
Putting up your own private cloud is always an advantage. You can setup your own private network, set your own rules, and ultimately you are in control of your own storage.
Western Digital has finally launched My Cloud and My Cloud EX4 for the PH market.
Personal/Home Cloud
WD My Cloud features gigabit LAN connectivity, USB 3.0 for fast file transfer, and up to 4TB configuration for the family or personal cloud.
Accessible via your native desktop, however the Android and iOS users may download the mobile app for ease of download and upload. WD My Cloud can serve as your home digital entertainment hub where you can store terabyte of movies and music and then stream it to any DLNA-enabled devices, as well as smart TVs and gaming consoles.
My Cloud is now available at select retailers in the Philippines and is distributed by EA Global and Iontech Inc. SRP starts at P7,490 for the 2TB configuration.

SOHO/Home Office Cloud
For the SME/SMB the My Cloud EX4 will suit your needs. The 4-bay network attached storage solution is also for creative professional, prosumers, workgroups, or anybody looking for a relatively large storage that can be accessed anytime from the cloud.
My Cloud EX4 can be configured up to 16TB of cloud storage; one chassis can be loaded with 4 hard drives starting from 8TB config. But for those who want to choose their own brand of hard drives, Western Digital My Cloud EX4 can be configured with third party hard drives such as Seagate.
What’s more impressive with the EX4 is that you can configure another chassis to have redundant setup. The chassis has dual AC input, and dual USB 3.0 port, and dual LAN port. These is for the redundant feature of the product.
