What Is LenovoEMC Personal Cloud ?
LenovoEMC Personal Cloud turns your ix2 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 ix2 Network Storage, or
on another LenovoEMC network device. When you create a Personal Cloud, you gain access to your ix2
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 ix2, 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 ix2. People who join your Personal Cloud can access data, perform Copy Job
operations, stream media from your ix2 over the internet, and use remote desktop to access computers on
the local network for your ix2. 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 ix2 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 ix2 from the web. Enter
myCloudName.mylenovoemc.com in a web browser, and when prompted, enter a valid username
and password for your ix2. 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 ix2, you can create a Personal
Cloud through the ix2 Management Console and then invite people to join it. You create and
manage the Personal Cloud on your ix2 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 ix2 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 ix2 as a Trusted
Device on the other Personal Cloud.
● Joining LenovoEMC Personal Cloud as a Trusted Device — To connect your computer or your
ix2 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 ix2 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 74
● Joining a Trusted Device to LenovoEMC Personal Cloud
