today is my first day with the pogoplug. it shows up in the shared column as two different icons. one is the correct icon for the usb attatched drive. the second icon says 'files shared with me'. what does that mean and how is it controlled? thanks.

Those are files that anyone else with a pogoplug has shared with you. I'm not sure there is anyway to turn that off.

what if i dont want to share? that seems like an awful weird 'feature'?

if you hit single drive button in the preferences it goes away.

Hey levytv,

Just to clarify "Files shared with me" are not files you are trying to share: they are files and directories that someone else who owns a Pogoplug wants to share with you. Your drives are not automatically shared - the only way for someone to have access would be for you to go to the website, click the "sharing" button, and type in someone's email address to share. It will work for any drive, or any folder in any drive, with anyone who has Internet access - they don't need to have a Pogoplug or pay anything for the service.

Hope this helps!
