Setting up Personal Cloud, Security, and File Sharing
After you have configured some basic features of your ix2 Network Storage, you may also want to set up a
LenovoEMC Personal Cloud, security, or file sharing.
You can set up a Personal Cloud to allow invited users access to content on your ix2. This content can be
in private Shares that are exclusive to the users who join the Personal Cloud, which adds an additional
layer of security. In addition, you may want to join other trusted devices to the Personal Cloud, so that
content on those devices can be made available to Personal Cloud users. For more information about
Personal Cloud, refer to the
Personal Cloud overview .
You can enable security so you can secure Shares, create users, and allow selected features to be
enabled. With security enabled, you can create users and set access privileges for those users to limit
data access on secured Shares. For more information on security, refer to
What Is Security and Do I Need
It ?
It is recommended to set up file sharing so that content can be added to your ix2, and that content can be
made available in a wide variety of ways, including content features such as Active Folders and media
sharing. For more information, refer to the
Sharing Overview .
