About Shares

A share is an area on the WD My Cloud Mirror device for storing files (similar to a folder or
directory).

Note: In this manual, we use the terms share and folder interchangeably.

A share can be public so that all users can access the contents, or private to limit access to
selected users. The Shares icon on the navigation bar displays a list of shares on the

WD My Cloud Mirror device and enables the Administrator to manage shares and user
access.
