Photo Webshare security Home network users with user accounts and Photo Webshare access, must use their user name and password to logon to Webshare. Outside visitors who can create albums, add photos to an album, or download photos, must also have a user name and password. For visitors who aren't required to have a user name and password, your server is still protected from open access because of the nature of the link (URL) provided in the email notification. For example: https://myfamily.hp.share.net/WebShare/ MAC=93728e7dc64b20a56f1&album=Weminuche%20Wilderness This type of URL restricts open access because of its complexity, but allows anyone who has received the URL to view the album without a user name and password. If you want more protection for accessing your albums, you can set visitor permissions so that every visitor must provide a user name and password. Normally, only visitors who can upload photos or video clips require a user name and password. Streaming media You can stream your favorite music, videos, and photos from the HP MediaSmart Server to any supported digital media receiver (DMR) or to a supported digital media player.
