Using the mydlink SharePort™ app for Android™
The mydlink SharePort™ app is a streamlined mobile application that allows you to conveniently stream media and share files
stored on a removable storage connected to your router. Once the router is set up, you can start the app and easily connect
from a local network or through the Internet to access your photos, videos, music, and documents. It allows you to create your
own personal cloud storage; you can upload files and photos from your mobile device to the removable storage via the app
from anywhere in the world!
Note:
In order to ensure smooth streaming performance, you will need a minimum of 2 Mbit/s upload bandwidth for your router’s Internet connection.
Streaming performance will vary depending on the quality of your Internet connection.
1. If you are connecting remotely through the mydlink SharePort™ app
from the Internet, you will need a
mydlink
account.
2. Make sure the device is powered on. Then plug your USB drive into
the USB port of the device.
Note
: If you connect a removable storage with many files or a large capacity, it
may take a while for the router to scan and catalog your files.
