Accessing Your My Book Live Remotely – 111

Sharing Your Files Remotely

To share files remotely with a family member or friend, create a new user on your

My Book Live and then create a separate web access account for that particular

user. Only the shares to which the user has access display.

1. If the person is not already a user of the My Book Live drive, create a new user

(see “Creating a User” on page 75).

2. Create a web access account for the user (see page 105). The user receives an

email providing instructions for using WD 2go.
