Is it possible to hide a folder in Pogoplug? I want it to not show up in my media server (when browsing the pogoplug) but I want to access it with Windows.

By the way: network speed (reading) is now up to max 12000 kb/s! That is almost 100mbit! Development did something great! Thanks! Maybe you can help AC Ryan ;-) it does 5000 kb/s in my network.

You can try this. Create a new folder from the web browser at my.pogoplug. Rename it and put a dot '.' in front of the folder name.
That hides it at my.pogoplug but can be seen using the Windows pogoplug drive app.

I tried, but the folder stills shows up on my new panasonic tv with build in media centre.. and also on my Ac Ryan. Is it possible to make a "system"-folder?
