Getting Started Without Online Setup Software
If you do not use the online setup software to get started, you can still:
Use your My Cloud EX2 Ultra Private Cloud Storage device as an external hard
drive, dragging and dropping files to and from it.
Configure the device using the My Cloud EX2 Ultra device's dashboard. (See
"The Dashboard Home Page" on page 33.)
Back up files using USB, Remote, Internal, and Cloud backup (see "Backing Up
and Retrieving Files" on page 45).
Accessing Content
The My Cloud EX2 Ultra device's Public folder contains Shared Music, Shared Pictures,
and Shared Videos subfolders. The existing content of the subfolders are files that you
dragged and dropped or files that have been backed up from your computer or an
attached USB drive:
