The WD My Cloud app also helps unify all of a users’ cloud storage under a single app and user interface. As a result, this allows for access to content on the personal cloud as well as on major public cloud services including Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive, from just one app.  The WD My Cloud OS 1.5 upgrade includes an update to the WD remote access servers that provide the authentication and access to My Cloud devices to address the BASH/Shellshock vulnerability. Additionally, iOS 8 users can now open a file, edit it and save it directly onto their My Cloud personal cloud storage from any location. Users do not need to save files to their mobile devices which takes up, what is typically limited, storage space. Full release notes are as follows: - Resolved issue of Shellshock (CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-6277, CVE-2014-6278, CVE-2014-7169, CVE-2014-7186, CVE-2014-7187) bash security vulnerability. - Supports 32K hybrid page sizes for enhanced device read and write performance. - Improved device dashboard user interface response time. - Supports disabling of media transcoding by turning off Cloud Access. - Supports creation of a share folder when creating user via 'Getting Started' or adding user through 'Users' page. - Supports media file name search in WD My Cloud mobile app. - Supports media view filtering in WD My Cloud mobile app. - Supports USB Backup from attached USB ports. - Resolved issue of large data transfer interruption when copying files between the WD My Cloud and an attached USB drive. - Resolved issue of FTP download user interface only showing name of the folder instead of full folder path. - Resolved problems with file transfer performance via MTP protocol. - Resolved issue of not able to change USB share name. - Resolved FTP download function to support file name that contains special characters. - Resolved issue of not joining the domain after a reboot when setup with Link Aggregation to 802.3ad                    **Availability** The upgrade is available on [WD’s download section](http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?level1=9&lang=en). The WD My Cloud mobile app is available for download from the App Store and Google Play store.
