Sharing Your Files Remotely

You can easily share files remotely with a family member or friend. When the user is created,
an email is sent that provides a link to WDMyCloud.com and some instructions. The user
creates a password and logs in. Only the shares to which the user has access and the
Public share display.

If the person is not already a user of the WD My Cloud device, create a new user, including a
password and email address (see “Creating a User” on page 53).
