Accessing the WD MYcloud from windows server 2019

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud
1

Just upgraded our server to MS server 2019 and need to access the WD MY cloud for backing up. However trying to access it comes up with the error " You can’t access this shared folder because your organization’s security policies block unauthenticated guest access…"

Any simple way to fix this ?

Many thanks for reading

Create an actual user account on the mycloud, and disable public shares.

See the user manual

on page 46, “Creating a private share”

I can access the mycloud from my PC but the 2019 server refuses to connect due to the policy. It’s a public share but if I change it to a private one with users setup for full access it makes no difference and it won’t connect saying the same warning message on the server. I’ve found a way to disable the policy but i’d rather take an alternative route if possible.

Hmm…

Does “net use” work?
