Using Media Buddy as a Portable Hard Drive
When connected to your computer via USB cable, Media Buddy becomes a
portable hard drive.
You can use it just like the hard drive on your computer to manage and back up
your important data.
4.1.
Transferring Files between Media Buddy and Your Computer
It is recommended that you always use the AC adapter when connecting Media
Buddy to your computer.
Note:
Media Buddy can operate from its battery power when connected to your
computer. However, there is a risk of running out of battery power during
operation. This will cause Media Buddy to automatically shutdown. Automatic
shutdown during data transfer may cause data loss either on Media Buddy or your
computer hard drive.
If you choose to connect Media Buddy to your computer
without plugging in the AC adapter, it is safest if Media Buddy is fully charged.
