Hello I wondered if there was a way to restructure the folder structure. I basically use it as a media store for my tv and transfer files from my tv to it via the network (the drive is also connected by usb to the tv). When I browse the files on the tv there are so many levels to click through…pu…

Hello rabidhyena, you can remove the public folder by going into the DLNA server dashboard, type “network name or IP address of the My Cloud”:9000 on any web browser, from the setup menu you can disable it. Currently it is not possible to organize the folders but you can post any suggestions in the …

Your smart TV probably supports DLNA/UPnP. Are you accessing media via a media server (e.g. Twonky on the MyCloud), or via a simple file browser? Twonky offers a number of different ways of indexing your media library, which may help. My FAQ on using Twonky may be helpful; see the sticky threads …

ok, that is news to me! i def have the my cloud white drive. I assumed it worked with the usb 3 as well! but perhaps im just getting to the files because my tv is plugged into the same network as well. interesting. so ignore my last statement. all i really want to do is have it so that when i log …

next step is to determine how you are getting to the media I assume DLNA but filesystem is possiable. with DLNA it seems most of this is client dependent. one thing is to keep your shared media in seperate shares and only enable media serving on these shares. at least you won’t have any non-media f…

Ok All I did was plug in the drive. Find it in the network places on my pc and drag movies over to that. Then the tv has add device, i go to it and then have to look through all the folders. obvioulsy i have to set up some sort of share thing as i havent done anything like that

you probably added them to the public share then as I think this is the only default share with media serving enabled. If you want any controls on file access on your local LAN, don’t use the share as it can’t be changed from public, nothing wrong with it if security is not an issue in the UI I wou…

Have you read the suggested FAQ thread?

http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/FAQ-Twonky-DLNA-Media-Server-Setup-amp-Use/td-p/858810

Where did you put your media? Can you use a file browser on your computer to find the media and tell us where you’ve put it? What is the structure of your media store: are all the files in one folder, or are they in hierarchical folders?
