MyCloud App

Unlock the full potential of your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad! The AKiTiO MyCloud App allows users of the MyCloud personal cloud server to access their digital content stored on the MyCloud unit from a mobile device. Open the app and gain access to your music, videos, photo libraries and other digital documents no matter if at home or on the road.

The latest version of the MyCloud App for iOS (v1.6.0) includes many small changes to improve the overall user experience and a couple of minor bug fixes but it also comes with a new and very useful feature. You can now open your documents in other external apps! This means that if the MyCloud App is unable to display the file that you would like to open, you can download it to your mobile device and then open it in another app that is able to open that particular format.

  • Added: Open files in external apps

  • Changed: File sorting now applies to all folders and the app remembers the last setting
