Is it also possible to disable the public folder?
Yes you can, but apparently its only because of a possible bug in the user interface. As indicated in this prior thread, if you attempt to change the Public folder “Shared Name” through the WD Administration interface you will be prevented from doing so. However, after attempting to change the Shared Name the “Public Access” option become ungray’d (available) and one can select “Off” to disable public access to the Public folder. Once set to Off one can select the individual users access levels for the Public folder. The change seems to stick after rebooting the WD My Cloud.
Just remember to disable Media Sharing as well if you want the Public folder to be truly private. To reenable public access to the Public folder just repeat the attempt to rename the folder through the administration interface then set “Public Access” to “On”.
