You don't need to set up anything special, and I just checked and my share emails are working fine. Can you send an email to support@pogoplug.com and they'll help figure out what's happening.

Respectfully, Norm, it seems you may be wrong? :-) However, I have a problem too (see below) so maybe the two that work are the 'wrong' thing?

Background: I have three drives in my PogoPlug, and have shared at least one directory on each - thus none of my shared files are in the root directory on any of the three drives.

Each drive thus has a shared directory - to a different email addressee - two of the three are working fine, the third has resolutely refused to (ever) send a sharing email no matter what I've done (add share, delete and re-add share, add file(s), etc.)

That the other two (identically configured) shares work well just adds to the frustration of the third share not working.

If anyone can help or has any insights to share - I'd love to hear them.

This is the only problem I've seen with my PogoPlug, but it's beginning to annoy, as the share is needed to fulfil the purpose of using a PogoPlug.

Anyone seen this - anyone have a fix, please?

Cheers, JS

I just tried to do this for the first time as well and it's not working. No e-mails are sent. Has anyone figured out a solution yet?

thanks!

I am also having the same issue. Files are shared with 2 of the 3 people they are sent to via the email address. I have contacted support and all they can tell me is to contact my domain manager. There is no domain problem as others in the same domain are receiving the shared file. Not sure what the issue is.

Waiting for response back from support....if anyone had this resolved please post

I see the same behavior. I think maybe my understanding of how this is supposed to work may be flawed, but here's what I did:

I viewed the "See a shared video for yourself" video of zipline.mov with no problems.

I then downloaded zipline.mov (approx. 40 MB) and placed it on my Pogoplug drive. Created a link to it and tried to view it from here at work. No luck. I get a video window, but nothing plays.

So I uploaded the same zipline.mov to my Pogoplug Cloud drive (the free 5GB provided by Cloud Engines.) Created a web link to it, but nothing plays. I've tried two different browsers, and two completely separate Internet connections. I can *download* the file from either location, but I can't play it using the URL.

It's puzzling to me that the downloaded file is 40MB but the video from the link listed on Pogo's web page begins streaming instantly and plays in 10 seconds. So the file I'm watching and the file I downloaded are clearly not the same file, because that would require approx. a 40 Mbps connection. The difference in quality is obvious too.

So there is some missing piece here, and something I don't understand about streaming from the Pogoplug.

So you're saying the Pogoplug can read a large video file from the hard drive, transcode it to lower quality/bitrate, and stream the result on the fly?? No offense, but I have a hard time believing that, based on my limited experience with the Pogoplug.
