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 OneTouchTM 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.
