Organizing Files

The Drag and Sort feature automatically sorts files into a selected
set of folders as you drag the files to your Central Axis. You can
sort files into your personal folders for restricted access by others
or into your public folder for open access to everyone.
•
In the main Central Access Manager desktop window, click
"Drag and Sort." For restricted access select the "My"
option; for open access, select the "Our" option. Be sure the
toggle switch is set to "on."

Media Drive

Media Drive allows you use Central Axis with any UPnP-enabled
or DLNA compliant personal computers and home entertainment
devices on your home network, such as Microsoft Xbox360 and
Sony's PlaysStation3 in order to play back digital photos, music,
and videos. You can export your favorite music and video
playlists and even search your iTunes Music folder for music and
video files.
Media Drive recognizes files in the Our Photos, Our Music, Our
Movies, My Photos, My Music, My Movies, and My Multimedia
folders. If you put your files in these folders, they are
automatically available for use with your entertainment system.

Hands-On Summary

You're seen that Central Axis is an easy to use Ethernet-connected
1TB drive for performing daily backups from every computer on a
home network. But Central Axis is much more. Far simpler to use
than an FTP Drive, Central Axis provides an easy yet secure way
to access files from the road and is a secure mechanism for sharing
folders with others.
