Western Digital announces photo viewer app for iPhone and iPod

Western Digital (WD), Lake Forest, Calif., introduced WD Photos photo viewer, an iPhone/iPod Touch app for use with its My Book World Edition and WD ShareSpace network drives, that lets users access up to 250,000 of their favorite photos from anywhere in the world. The WD Photos photo viewer app allows users to easily log in to their drive from anywhere so they can view their entire photo library.

Usersโ€™ photos remain private, safe and secure in full high-resolution format, on their network drive, eliminating the need for painstaking uploads to costly online photo services and the need to choose which pictures to sync to their iPhone โ€“ with WD Photos photo viewer, theyโ€™re all instantly and easily accessible. The appโ€™s powerful search tools, thumbnail previews and viewing options make it easy to find that special picture to show a friend at a coffee shop or remember a special moment.

Users can view up to 250,000 pictures on their iPhone or iPod touch by simply copying their pictures into the โ€œShared Picturesโ€ folder on their My Book World Edition network drive. A unique application that runs directly on these WD network drives automatically creates optimized versions of usersโ€™ photos ahead of time, enabling fast viewing on an iPhone or iPod touch without having to wait for the photos to load.

Available now at the Apple iTunes App Store, the WD Photos photo viewer app is free.
