WD SHARESPACE USER MANUAL 7 External USB Drive Sharing & Backup Sharing Data on a USB Drive You can share data on your USB drive with other users connected to the WD ShareSpace. When a USB storage device with the FAT, FAT32, HFS+J, or NTFS file system is connected to the network storage device, the USB device will be displayed as a USB share. To share data on a USB drive: 1. Connect a USB drive to any of the three USB ports. The front port is USB1 and the two rear ports are USB2 and USB3 from top to bottom. Note: The WD ShareSpace supports external USB storage; USB optical drives (CD/DVD combo or DVD dual/multi drive) are not supported. The USB ports currently support attached drives with FAT32, NTFS, EXT3, or HFS+J file systems. Proprietary devices (e.g., cameras) are not currently supported. 2. Open the WDShareSpace folder to access data on the USB drive. Double-click the USB share. The USB share name will appear as usb1-1share1, usb2-1share1, or usb3-1share1, depending on the actual USB port that the USB drive is connected to. USB Auto Backup Feature The WD ShareSpace's auto backup feature allows you to back up data in either direction-from a USB drive to the WD ShareSpace or from the WD ShareSpace to a USB drive. You have to select your destination and source as described in "USB to WD ShareSpace Backup" on page 144. Important: When backing up data, always connect the USB drive directly to USB port 1 located on the front panel. Do not use a USB hub. Ensure that the destination drive has enough free space to store the amount of data being transferred. EXTERNAL USB DRIVE SHARING & BACKUP - 76
