I set up the WD My Cloud by following the setup guide. I made myself the admin, then set up my wife and daughter. When I then opened the network to back up my first files - I was only able to use either their user names or “public”, which I discovered was accessible to everyone in the house (not “the public”, however, it was not my own files - but public on our network. I then tried to establish my own user name - but, my email address is associated with the admin name - so I can’t set up my own user profile (except as a public profile) I get an error message that this email is already being used (um, yup, I get that - it’s mine…)
I’ve searched a few different ways for this - but to no avail. I am clearly doing something wrong but I can’t for the life of me determine how to have myself (the admin) not be public. I got the WD My Cloud to be able to back up our individual laptops, etc in our own accounts. If the admin can’t have their own private back up (yes, I understand it’s not “public”, but my own files are mine - not for everyone in the house) this unit is seriously flawed - Anyone have any idea how to work around this? I am simply looking to back up my own files - same as the rest of the fam…
Thanks - and apologies if this has been solved, but my searches here and online have not yielded any help.
