What Is LenovoEMC Personal Cloud ?

LenovoEMC Personal Cloud turns your EZ Media & Backup Center into a hub for sharing files and backing
up data among computers anywhere in the world. A Personal Cloud can exist on your EZ Media & Backup
Center, or on another LenovoEMC network device. When you create a Personal Cloud, you gain access to
your EZ Media 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 EZ Media, 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 EZ Media.

People who join your Personal Cloud can access data, perform Copy Job operations, stream media from
your EZ Media over the internet, and use remote desktop to access computers on the local network for
your EZ Media. 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 feature you can configure from your EZ Media device
management interface that allows you to securely share storage and media capabilities with
computers around the world.

●

Web Access — You can use Personal Cloud to access your EZ Media from the web. Enter
myCloudName.mylenovoemc.com in a web browser, and when prompted, enter a valid username
and password for your EZ Media. 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 EZ Media, you can create a
Personal Cloud through the device management console, and then invite people to join it. You
create and manage the Personal Cloud using the Personal Cloud feature interface. The Personal
Cloud that you administer is called My Personal Cloud.

●

Other Personal Cloud — If you want to have your EZ Media join a Personal Cloud hosted on
another LenovoEMC network storage device 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 EZ Media as a Trusted Device on the other Personal
Cloud.

●

Joining LenovoEMC Personal Cloud as a Trusted Device — To connect your computer or your
EZ Media as a trusted device to a Personal Cloud, 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 EZ Media 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 a Personal Cloud

●

Inviting People onto Your Personal Cloud

●

Joining a Trusted Device to a Personal Cloud
