Assigning Quotas to a Group 

Use the following steps to assign a quota to a Group. A quota determines the amount of 
space assigned to the user on the WD My Cloud Mirror device. (See “Quota Rules” on 
page 47 for information on quotas.) 

1.   On the Set Up Groups screen, select the group from the left pane. 

2.   In the Quotas field, click Configure. 

3.   Enter the amount of space you’d like to assign to the group on the WD My Cloud Mirror 

device. To assign unlimited space, leave the Quota Amount field(s) blank.

Removing a Group 

Use the following steps to delete a group from the WD My Cloud Mirror device. 

1.   On the Set Up Group screen, select the group you’d like to delete in the left pane. 

2.   Click the Remove Group icon 

. 

3.   In response to the confirmation message, click OK. The Group account is removed from 

the device and no longer displays in the Group account list.

A share is an area on the WD My Cloud Mirror device for storing files (similar to a folder or 
directory). 

Note:  In this manual, we use the terms share and folder interchangeably. 

A share can be public so that all users can access the contents, or private to limit access to 
selected users. The Shares icon on the navigation bar displays a list of shares on the 

 

WD My Cloud Mirror device and enables the Administrator to manage shares and user 
access.
