Privacy	Private Device Sharing will only accept connections signed in to your RealPlayer Cloud account.
	PublicAny RealPlayer Cloud on your network can connect. Good for sharing with visitors or family members who have a separate RealPlayer Cloud account.
	Disable Device Sharing is turned off, no external access. Folders under Folders to share... will only be added to your PC Library.

Watch these folders...

RealPlayer Cloud will automatically scan watched folders for media files that you've downloaded or copied with a stand-alone browser or other programs. It will then add all of the new files that are detected to the Library. If Device Sharing is enabled, these files will be available to other applications on your network.

Notify me...	(Default: selected)Shows a message in the notification area on the right side of the Windows task bar.
	Add Folder: Opens a "Browse for Folder" dialog where you can select and add a folder to your watch list. Click OK to add the selected folder and to close the dialog. (RealPlayer Cloud can watch more than one folder.)
	Remove Folder: Removes the selected folder from the watch list. This does not delete items from your Library - it prevents future automatic updates.
