Sharing Content Using Social Media
Sharing Content Using Social Media: Overview
If you have an account with social media services such as Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube, you can
share content on your Iomega StorCenter px12-450r with your friends and family using one or more
of these social media sites. To share your content using social media sites, create Shares called
Active Folders
, and connect each Active Folder with a social media account. Refer to the help topic
links below for more information on these procedures. When you add photos and movies to an Active
Folder, those files are automatically uploaded to the social media site associated with that Active
Folder. If you have photos or movies you want to share with others, this is a great way to make your
content available to people who may not have access to your px12-450r.
If you have configured a Personal Cloud on your px12-450r, you can grant Personal Cloud users
access to Shares and Active Folders. This is useful if you want to allow users to add files to your
social media sites. For example, if your px12-450r has a Flickr Active Folder, you can grant Personal
Cloud users access to that Active Folder. In this manner, when photos are added to the Flickr Active
Folder, either by you or by Personal Cloud users, those photos are uploaded automatically to your
Flickr account.
Note that an Active Folder can only be associated with one social media account. For example, if
you want Active Folders for your Facebook and YouTube accounts, create two Active Folders, and
assign one Active Folder to Facebook, and one to YouTube. Using this example, any photos you add
to your Facebook Active Folder are automatically uploaded to your Facebook page, and any movies
you add to your YouTube Active Folder are automatically uploaded to your YouTube page. Not only
is this a fast and easy way to share content, but uploading content to your social media sites
provides an additional backup of your content, as the content is stored both on your px12-450r and
at your social media accounts.
