To automatically create a share from a USB key, just
connect the USB key to a USB port on the back of the
2big Network and push the big blue button on the front
of the drive.
The following things will happen:
A new share will be created on the 2big (Fig. 3.6.2).
The share gets its name from the USB key. You can
rename the share at any time.
All data on the USB key will be copied to the new
share. When you disconnect the USB key from the
2big the data will still be available because it has been
copied to the 2big.
NOTe:
Shares created with 1-click data sharing (USB
keys) are different from shares created by attaching exer-
nal storage devices like USB hard drives. When a share
is created by attaching a USB hard drive, the drive
must
be connected at all times for its data to be accessible.
Shares created from USB keys with 1-click data sharing
are created
on the 2big
and are always accessible.
