Renaming Files and Folders
1. Focus your mouse pointer on the folder or file you would like to rename and click the overlay icon
that looks like a pencil. A box will appear allowing you to type in the new name of your folder or file.
Renaming Drives
1. Click the “Settings” button in the upper right hand corner.
2. You will see your DockStar--all the drives attached to it—appear as the “P: Pogoplug” drive. Next
to each drive there is a “rename” link. Click the link to enter a new name for the drive.
Multiple email addresses
You have the ability to associate multiple email addresses with your FreeAgent DockStar account.
Each email address has full access to all drives and shares associated with the account. This means
you can set up your DockStar on a home computer using a personal email address, and then
associate that same DockStar with a work or friend’s email address allowing you to access content on
your DockStar using any one of those email addresses. To add additional email addresses to your
account, simply click the “Add” link next to “Your email addresses”.
Publishing to Social Networking Sites
FreeAgent DockStar also allows you to publish feeds to several social networking sites such as
Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace in just a few clicks. Here’s how:
1. In the sharing options window under
“More Sharing Options”,
click the check box next to the
sites to which you would like to publish.
2. Type the username and password for the site to which you are publishing to authenticate. Once
this information is entered, you do not need to do it again and notifications about new files will be
published automatically.
3. You can also type a message introducing the shared folder to friends in your social network such
as, “Hi everyone, check out our wedding photos”. This message along with a public URL will be
published to networking sites you have selected for publication, directing your friends to the site.
