File-Sharing Scenarios
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational
purposes. The files can be any computer, Mac, or Linux file type including text files, Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, pictures, and multimedia files. USB drive applications include:
• Sharing multimedia with friends and family such as MP3 files, pictures, and other
multimedia with local and remote users.
• Sharing resources on your network. You can store files in a central location so that you do
not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files
between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB drive as a
go-between across the systems.
• Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with
remote users.
A few common uses are described in the following sections.
Share Photos
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This method
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
