How do you set yourself up as a Registered User

Have just got My Cloud Home up and running, and am successfully (it seems) backing up my macbook pro. However, I’m a “Guest”. Does anyone know what is the significance of accessing the server as a Registered User rather than as a Guest? Also, how do you set yourself up as a Registered User?

Have to say, I’ve burnt quite a few hours on this already so any assistance will be very greatly appreciated.

Hi skybluekid,

You can refer to link mentioned below in order to know how to map a share in MAC as a registered user.

Got a notification from WD saying the Discovery App will end EOL in June 2023. Below is the link from WD:

Now, when I try to use smb to connect to my cloud home, it needs register user and password for the private storage space. I need to know how to setup the register user on My Cloud Home. There were older links saying My Cloud Home does not support Register User. If so, how are we going to use Mac Finder to connect to the private storage (after Discovery App is gone)?

I have this too. I’ve followed all the instructions for SMB and then get stuck at that screen. I’ve tried all the usernames that are an option within the mycloud web interface but nothing works.
