Personal Cloud: Accessing Your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud From Anywhere in the World

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.
