I just purchased a pogoplug, and have the pro version of the software installed on my laptop. I have a WD 2TB hard drive attached to the pogoplug, and can see the drive. My laptop is an ASUS brand with two 500gb drives, partitioned. My "C" drive partition is only 75gb, and filled with programs and Windows 7 programs, and the partition is too small for me to put all my documents there. I have all my documents stored on the next partition which is labeled "D". I would like to use active copy, but it only wants to point toward MyDocuments on my "C" drive. I don't know how to point active copy to another drive location. Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. I bought pogoplug premium for two computers and pogoplug pro for the external hard drive. Everything works smooth from the windows 7 computer. On the windows XP computer the "create new folder" is greyed out on the Windows XP drive and active copy is only showing the external hard drive as active copy source but not the other way around. Basically I want to add a new folder from my windows XP drive into the pogo folder list to use that as active copy source for the external drive.

I could not find a good solution to using active copy. I gave up trying to use it. After reviewing several different backup/sync programs, I choose a program called "Goodsync". The pogoplug was taking hours to do what only took minutes by directly connecting the drive to the PC so I decided to plug my external hard drive directly into my laptop to make the initial backups, (USB 3.0) which was much faster than using the pogoplug pro interface. Then I plugged my drive back into the pogoplug pro. I now just sync the changes through the pogoplug interface, which moves fast enough when I make my backups after-hours.

The original version of the Pogoplug software let you setup ActiveCopy from a local drive to a pogoplug directory.

THe new version requires registering the LAN computer, then sharing a directory, then going to my.pogoplug.com to setup the active copy and treating the local computer as a pogoplug device (strange indeed) and active copy from a directory on the computer LAN pogoplug device to an actual pogoplug hardware device directory.

The original version was much more intuitive, faster and smaller.

I have the original version on my XP machine, but am going to try loading an older Mac version on my Apple to see if it works as it should -- keeping LAN computers as clients, and Pogoplug devices as Network Attached Storage, the way things should be in my opinion based on several years of LAN usage, writing network software, etc.
