Personal Cloud: Accessing Your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud From Anywhere in the World

What Is LenovoEMC Personal Cloud ?

LenovoEMC Personal Cloud turns your ix4-300d Network Storage into a hub for sharing files and backing up data among computers anywhere in the world. A Personal Cloud can exist on your ix4-300d Network Storage, or on another LenovoEMC network device. When you create a Personal Cloud, you gain access to your ix4-300d from anywhere on the internet. You can also share with friends and family by inviting users to join your Personal Cloud. You manage Personal Cloud users the same way you manage other users on your ix4-300d, so you control the storage and content they can access through the Personal Cloud. Trusted devices can be added to your Personal Cloud to connect them through the internet as if they are on a common home network with your ix4-300d. People who join your Personal Cloud can access data, perform Copy Job operations, stream media from your ix4-300d over the internet, and use remote desktop to access computers on the local network for your ix4-300d. If you allow a user to join their trusted devices to the Cloud, those devices become part of the Cloud and can be accessed by other users on the Cloud.

LenovoEMC Personal Cloud Key Terms

The following are a few key terms to help get you started with a Personal Cloud:

●LenovoEMC Personal Cloud— This is a setting configured on your ix4300d Management Console that allows you to securely share storage and media capabilities with computers around the world.

●Web Access — You can use Personal Cloud information to access your ix4-300d from the web. Enter myCloudName.mylenovoemc.com in a web browser, and when prompted, enter a valid username and password for your ix4-300d. You can also use the LenovoEMC Link, which is an application that runs on mobile devices, by entering the Personal Cloud name and then a valid username and password. For more information on the LenovoEMC Link, refer to its documentation.

●My Personal Cloud — When you are the administrator of your ix4-300d, you can create a Personal Cloud through the ix4300d Management Console and then invite people to join it. You create and manage the Personal Cloud on your ix4300d Management Console through the My Personal Cloud configuration option. The Personal Cloud that you administer is called My Personal Cloud.

●Other Personal Cloud — If you want to have your ix4-300d join that Personal Cloud instead of administering your own, select the option for Other Personal Cloud. Enter the Personal Cloud name, username and password you received when you were invited to join your ix4-300d as a Trusted Device on the other Personal Cloud.

●Joining LenovoEMC Personal Cloud as a Trusted Device — To connect your computer or your ix4-300d as a trusted device to a Personal Cloud, you use the username and password given to you for that Personal Cloud. The person managing the Personal Cloud has to create you as a user on the device hosting the Personal Cloud and give you permission to add trusted devices. You can connect your ix4-300d to only one Personal Cloud at any given time, so you must select between either My Personal Cloud or Other Personal Cloud.

An administrator should complete the following tasks to set up or join a Personal Cloud:

●Creating LenovoEMC Personal Cloud

●Inviting People onto Your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud on page 78

●Joining a Trusted Device to LenovoEMC Personal Cloud
