Using the Server

Photo Webshare security
Home network users with user accounts and Photo Webshare access, must
use their user name and password to logon to Webshare. Outside visitors
who can create albums, add photos to an album, or download photos, must
also have a user name and password.
For visitors who aren’t required to have a user name and password, your
server is still protected from open access because of the nature of the link
(URL) provided in the email notification. For example:
https://myfamily.hp.share.net/WebShare/
MAC=93728e7dc64b20a56f1&album=Weminuche%20Wilderness
This type of URL restricts open access because of its complexity, but allows
anyone who has received the URL to view the album without a user name and
password. If you want more protection for accessing your albums, you can set
visitor permissions so that every visitor must provide a user name and
password. Normally, only visitors who can upload photos or video clips
require a user name and password.
Streaming media
You can stream your favorite music, videos, and photos from the HP
MediaSmart Server to any supported digital media receiver (
DMR
) or to a
supported digital media player.
