User's Manual

● Send a Personal Cloud invitation — click this link to invite a user to join your Personal Cloud

on the ix4-300d. This opens the Send a Personal Cloud Invitation dialog box where you create

an invitation by entering a user's email address along with any additional comments. A user

then receives the invitation, which contains the Personal Cloud name and username and

password. A user enters that information from LenovoEMC Storage Manager. For more

information on this, refer to the online help with LenovoEMC Storage Manager. You see this

option only if a Personal Cloud has been created on the ix4-300d.

● Allow this user to add trusted devices to my Personal Cloud — check this box to allow a

user to join a trusted device to a Personal Cloud. A trusted device is a machine, either a

computer or another ix4-300d, that belongs to an added user. Only trusted devices that belong

to users that have been added to the ix4-300d can join the LenovoEMC Personal Cloud. This

option displays only if a Personal Cloud has been created on the ix4-300d.
