4. Sharing Your Content and Managing Files

First, a few common terms:
Applications: refers to the different screens available when you sign in to your Ethernet Disk mini Home Edition with a web browser
(Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.), such as FamilyLibrary, MyLibrary or MyBackup.
Upload: the act of transferring files from your computer to your Ethernet Disk mini.
Download: the opposite of Upload – the act of transferring files from your Ethernet Disk mini to your computer.
Sharing: Controlling who can access your files (such as a photo album, or home video). They can be made available to only you, to
the whole world, or to only a specified group of people. Invitations to remotely access content on your Ethernet Disk mini can be sent
to friends and family through an email that includes a secure link.
File management and sharing are the primary functions of the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini. In this section, you'll learn how to use the
browser interface to access, download, upload and share your files.
