An Iomega Personal Cloud turns a Iomega StorCenter px6-300d into a hub for sharing data, playing games, and backing up data among computers anywhere in

the world. A Personal Cloud can exist on yours or someone else's Iomega StorCenter px6-300d. When you create a Personal Cloud, storage on your Iomega

StorCenter px6-300d is shared with any member computer you invite to join the Personal Cloud. A Personal Cloud allows you to securely connect computers and

storage devices across the internet as if they are on a common home network. After you set up a Personal Cloud on your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d, you can

then invite members to join that Personal Cloud. After joining, members can access data, perform Copy Job operations, use your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d

as a QuikProtect remote target, stream media from your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d over the internet, and use remote desktop to access computers on the

local network for your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d.

Iomega Personal Cloud Key Terms

The following are a few key terms to help get you started with a Personal Cloud:

Iomega Personal Cloud — This is a setting configured on your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d Console that allows you to share storage, media

capabilities, and gaming, and allows you to network with computers around the world by turning your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d into a central hub for

these activities. To members that join the Personal Cloud, it appears that your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d is right in their own home or office.

My Personal Cloud — When you are the administrator of a Iomega StorCenter px6-300d, you create a Personal Cloud through the Iomega StorCenter

px6-300d Console and then invite members to join it. You create and manage the Personal Cloud on your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d Console through

the My Personal Cloud configuration option. The Personal Cloud that you administer is called My Personal Cloud.

Other Personal Cloud — Someone else may invite your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d to join their Personal Cloud. If you want to have your Iomega

StorCenter px6-300d join that Personal Cloud instead of administering your own, select the Other Personal Cloud configuration option. Use the access

code and Personal Cloud name you received when you were invited to join the other Personal Cloud.

Joining an Iomega Personal Cloud — To join your computer to someone else's Personal Cloud, you use the Iomega Storage Manager installed on your

computer. Refer to your email invite and the Iomega Storage Manager online help for details. You can only connect your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d to

one Personal Cloud at any given time, so you have to choose between either My Personal Cloud or Other Personal Cloud.

Members — Members are the computers you have invited to join your Personal Cloud. Your computer can be a member of your own or someone else's

Personal Cloud if you have been invited to join, but your computer cannot be connected to more than one Personal Cloud at the same time. The

Personal Cloud is only useful if other computers can access it, but you do not want just any computer to access your Personal Cloud. To limit which

computers can access your Personal Cloud, you must explicitly invite member computers to join your Personal Cloud and provide each with a unique

access code created automatically when you add new members.

Access Codes — When you add new member computers, such as your work laptop, a friend's computer, or an Iomega storage device, a unique access

code is generated for accessing a Personal Cloud. The access code is sent to members in an introductory email, and that access code is then entered in

the Iomega Storage Manager that is running on that computer. Any members that do not have the Iomega Storage Manager installed on their computers

can find instructions in the introductory email on how to download and install the Iomega Storage Manager to access the Personal Cloud. Administrators

can also locate the access code on the Iomega Personal Cloud page by selecting My Personal Cloud and looking under Membership. If someone invites

your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d to join their Personal Cloud, you can join their Personal Cloud through the Iomega StorCenter px6-300d Console. On

the Personal Cloud page, select the Other Personal Cloud configuration option to join your Iomega StorCenter px6-300d to their Personal Cloud using the

supplied access code.

An administrator should complete the following tasks to set up or join a Personal Cloud:

create a Personal Cloud account

add members to a Personal Cloud

join a Personal Cloud account

manage Personal Cloud members
