Using Your Drive

You can use your Maxtor Shared Storage Drive as you do any hard

drive that is either built-in or directly connected to your computer.

When you install the Shared Storage Drive and create a name and a

password to access your personal folder, a set of folders is

automatically created to help you organize your files.

Your Personal folder includes:

• Private folders that only you have access to.

• A shortcut to the “Public” folder where you can share files

with other users of the Shared Storage Drive.

The Public folder includes:

• A set of folders in which users can share their files.

• The “Printers and Faxes” folder, where you can install printers

as well as printer/fax machines to be available to all users of

the Shared Storage Drive. (See

“Using USB Printers with your

drive” on page 11 for more information).

For more information about access privileges and other

advanced features of your Shared Storage Drive,

see “Advanced Settings” on page 13.
