Enabling/Disabling Dlna And Itunes - Western Digital My Cloud User Manual

access them from your network. Shares can be shared with everyone (public) or with
selected users on your network (private).
The device comes pre-configured with the Public network share, which contains the
following subfolders for media storage:
• Shared Music—Stores music files you want to share with other users
• Shared Pictures—Stores image files you want to share with other users
• Shared Videos—Stores video files you want to share with other users
These folders are for your convenience; you can put any supported media file in any share.
Note: You will notice that the Public share's Shared Music and Shared Pictures
shares contain mirrored and uploaded subfolders. These folders are needed
by Twonky 7.2. You can now upload all media types to the uploaded subfolder
from a DLNA client with "upload" capability.
Go to the Twonky configuration site (NAS_IP:9000) to aggregate content from
all NAS devices with DLNA capability on your network to the mirrored folder.
Uploading and mirroring are best left to expert users, as these features are not
supported by WD customer support.
