Hi gasman,

When you connect a drive to the Pogoplug, all of the files on the drive are available for view on your local network, as long as you either have Pogoplug Drive installed with your login, or login to the web client from anywhere with your credentials.

Remember that only you can see everything, though, with your secure login. Other computers on your network will not be able to see the drives unless you install Pogoplug Drive on them and log in with your credentials.

You can share individual files with others, of course, through the web interface.

Does that answer your question?

If you have all of your files stored in folders on your drive, it would be easy to click them all and share them with people, but I don't know of a way to easily share an "entire" drive with someone else. That could be a dangerous feature indeed :) Even easier would be to dump everything on the drive into a "main" folder on the drive and just share that.

The Biz version does allow you to set up other users, and that is an easy way to give others "administrative" level access, if that's something you need.

Thats exactly how it works. You can grant access to whoever you want to a specific folder and they can't access anything other than you have allowed then to.
