Thanks again! I figured out that you 'upload' a file to the pogo device, and you can see it from my.pogo.com/view from a browser on any computer. Then you have to 'download' the file to the second computer in order to work on it. Then I think you have to upload the modified file back through my.pogo.com/view. It's becoming more clear now. Your tips are much more helpful than the help files. Is the 5GB that pogoplug assigns on their servers for backing up your computer? I couldn't tell from the documentation how a backup differs from file management. I'm still curious about the photos that my.pogoplug.com/view is seeing. It looks like it's getting every image on the usb hard drive. Some of these are just icons from various programs, I think. I can't view any of the photos yet. There is a big red X on the icons under the photo tab. The help file is confusing, and I don't think it's working properly. For example, here's what I see on the help file for PogoPlug Drive: Apparently the lines ending with 'png' are an image or something, but I'm not seeing anything. I'm not seeing the big frames around that part either, but it seems to show them on SI. Edit: after I posted my message I could see the broken link icons where the 'png' lines were. What do I need to do to see the image? javascript is enabled, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. How To: Pogoplug Drive If you’re as tied to your Pogoplug as I am, you want to be able to access it as quickly as possible. Pogoplug Drive, a feature of Pogoplug Companion, is the perfect solution, letting you manage your Pogoplug drives straight from your desktop. Pogoplug Drive mounts all your Pogoplug devices, your Cloud, and your user folders to your desktop. To enable Pogoplug Drive, open Companion, go to Preferences --> Pogoplug Drive* and select ON.* You can now move, copy, and download files to or from any of your Pogoplug drives without even opening the application. Although all our features are speedy, Pogoplug Drive is the one that provides instantaneous file transfer. It’s also a great way to manage files that aren’t stored on your computer. If you have a large external drive connected to a Pogoplug device, Pogoplug Drive lets you quickly view and manage the files stored there from your desktop. When I want to send my friend a bundle of files—some documents, a video I’d taken, the song I recorded on GarageBand—Pogoplug Drive makes it simple and easy. I selected the files, drag and drop them into my Cloud, and within a minute, I was creating a link to send to my friend.
