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 les
stored on a removable storage device 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 les 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.
Note: If you choose to skip the mydlink SharePort registration during the initial setup of your DIR-895L, you may begin the registration process
anytime by accessing the mydlink SharePort feature from within the router conguration menu. Please see page 94 for details on how to begin
the mydlink shareport registration process.
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
a USB port on the device.
Note: If you connect a removable storage device with several thousand les, it
may take a while for the router to scan and catalog them.
Plug your removable storage device in either the USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.
