About Shares
A share is an area on the My Cloud Mirror device for storing files (similar to a folder or
directory).
Note: In this manual, we use the terms share and folder interchangeably.
A share can be public so that all users can access the contents, or private to limit access to
selected users. The Shares icon on the navigation bar displays a list of shares on the
My Cloud Mirror device and enables the Administrator to manage shares and user access.
Viewing a List of Shares
Click the Shares icon on the navigation bar to display a list of shares on the My Cloud Mirror
device. For each share name, the description, media serving, and public access status
display.
Use the following steps to view a list of shares.
