What Is LenovoEMC Personal Cloud ?
LenovoEMC Personal Cloud turns your px4-300d Network Storage into a hub for sharing files and backing
up data among computers anywhere in the world. A Personal Cloud can exist on your px4-300d Network
Storage, or on another LenovoEMC network device. When you create a Personal Cloud, you gain access
to your px4-300d 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 px4-300d, 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 px4-300d. People who join your Personal Cloud can
access data, perform Copy Job operations, stream media from your px4-300d over the internet, and use
remote desktop to access computers on the local network for your px4-300d. 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 setting configured on your px4-300d Management
Console that allows you to securely share storage and media capabilities with computers around
the world.
● Web Access — You can use Personal Cloud information to access your px4-300d from the web.
Enter myCloudName.mylenovoemc.com in a web browser, and when prompted, enter a valid
username and password for your px4-300d. 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 px4-300d, you can create a
Personal Cloud through the px4-300d Management Console and then invite people to join it. You
create and manage the Personal Cloud on your px4-300d Management Console through the My
Personal Cloud configuration option. The Personal Cloud that you administer is called My
Personal Cloud.
● Other Personal Cloud — If you want to have your px4-300d join that Personal Cloud 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 px4-300d as a
Trusted Device on the other Personal Cloud.
● Joining LenovoEMC Personal Cloud as a Trusted Device — To connect your computer or your
px4-300d as a trusted device to a Personal Cloud, you 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 px4-300d 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 LenovoEMC Personal Cloud
● Inviting People onto Your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud on page 95
● Joining a Trusted Device to LenovoEMC Personal Cloud
