Western Digital released the answer to all of our travel photography prayers! Over the last few weeks I tested out their latest product, My Passport Wireless Pro and this device is genius!

What’s in the Box
- My Passport Wireless Pro
- USB Cable
- USB Power adapter
- Quick install guide
I also like this drive because it’s not bulky, so I can take it with me anywhere. I can also use it as a WiFi hub and share it with other devices like my husband’s phone or iPad. Speaking of iPad, the My Passport Wireless Pro not only works with Mac devices, but it works well with PC too. You will not have to reformat it – just plug it up, connect and do what you please!
My Cloud
Your files can be accessed anywhere you are in the world (with internet access and the device) by using the free app My Cloud (available on iTunes and Google Play). My Cloud is a mobile app that you will need to access files stored on the drive through your smartphone or tablet. This will come in handy if you do not have a computer available to plug up My Passport Wireless Pro for importing/exporting files. My Cloud can also connect you to Adobe Creative Cloud so you can work on photography and videography projects.
If you are into taking a lot of photos and videos (especially for blogging, journalism and other professional purposes) this drive is just for you! When you’re on the go, you want something that is fast, easy and efficient to get your work done so that you’ll have more time for other things – like the beach!
