Using the Drag and Sort Feature
In addition to including a set of folders to help you organize your
files, your Shared Storage Drive also includes a time-saving new
feature called
Drag and Sort
. With Drag and Sort, every time you
drag common files to your Shared Storage Drive, each file is
automatically sorted into the appropriate folder based on its
file type. The Drag and Sort feature supports over 100 common
file types, including .doc, .ppt, .jpg, .xls, .html and more!
Here’s an Example:
1.
Select a Microsoft Word document, a JPEG image file, and an
MPEG video file.
2.
Drag and drop the files onto the desktop icon of your
Shared Storage Drive.
3.
The files are automatically sorted into the appropriate folders:
• The Microsoft Word document is placed into:
My Documents
• The JPEG image is placed into:
My Photos
• The MPEG video is placed into:
My Movies
By clicking and dragging files, they are copied. However, by
right-clicking and dragging, you can choose to either copy or
move the files.
The Drag and Sort feature is only supported on a PC on
which the Quick Start software has been installed.
Using External USB drives with
your drive
There are two USB ports on the back of your drive which allow you
to connect USB hard drives, such as the Maxtor OneTouch
TM
and
Personal Storage 5000 drives.
The Maxtor Shared Storage Drive is only compatible with
USB drives that are formatted with the FAT32* file system.
*With the FAT32 file system, the size of a single file is
limited to 4 GB on this type of partition.
Connecting a USB drive
You may connect a USB drive while your Shared Storage Drive is
on. It will automatically recognize the drive.
You may also connect a USB drive while your Shared Storage Drive
is off. It will be recognized the next time you turn your
Shared Storage Drive on.
Accessing the external USB drive
1.
Open your Shared Storage Drive by double-clicking its
desktop icon.
2.
Your external USB drive will appear as a folder on the
Shared Storage Drive.
The name of this folder will correspond to the volume
name of your external USB drive.
