When working out this process before my trip, I had settled on Affinity Photo, even though it is far, far more capable than I needed. I also found it very easy to directly share a photo from M圜loud to a photo processing app. ![]() This device made it pretty easy as I could dump my camera’s memory card directly onto the hard drive and use its built in wireless network and the WD M圜loud app to review the photos in full screen from my iPad.
