FireFly User Guide
Project Repositories
You can use multiple FireFlys to store files and data for individual projects. This is
useful if most of your work is project oriented where each project generates a large set
of files and data. Each project can have a designated FireFly to be used as the
Project
Drive
.
Editing Files and Updating Data
Use the FireFly as the primary repository for all the files and data associated with the
project. This drive then becomes the
Project Drive
for the project. When you need to
work on the project, connect the
Project Drive
and ensure all changes to files and data
are saved to this drive.
You can still work on local drives or other high performance drives; just remember to
transfer all finished files to the
Project Drive
.
Visiting Clients
If you frequently travel to see clients, you can bring along all the relevant project files
and data by bringing the
Project Drive
. This means you do not have to:
Carry a laptop everywhere you go.
Copy files and data to your client’s computer (using up valuable hard disk
space and running the risk of running out of disk space).
Install licensed applications onto your client’s computer.
All you have to do is connect the
Project Drive
to your client’s computer. For example,
you can show a Power Point presentation on a client’s computer by connecting the
FireFly directly to their computer.
