MAXTOR FUSION USER'S GUIDE
Sharing Files through the Public Site Folder
In addition to sharing your files through email invitations
with an individual or group, you can also place files in an
area that is openly accessible on the Web. Each user account
is provided a separate Public Site area. The URL to this
Public Site for your user account can be found in the Set
Preferences menu.
Adding Files to Your Public Site
You can add files to the Public Site for your user account by
selecting the files in the main view area of the browser
interface and then clicking on the MAKE PUBLIC button.
Managing Files in Your Public Site
You can view the files that you have made public by clicking
on the Public Site folder button located below the Pictures,
Music, Video and Documents Categories.
If you wish to remove access to files in the Public Site, select
them while in the Public Site folder view and then drag them
to the Trashcan. This removes access to the files from the
Public Site area but does not delete the actual file from the
Category folder or sub-folder.
NOTE: If you delete files from Maxtor Fusion that were
being shared through the Public Site feature, they will
no longer be accessible through the Public Site.

Searching and Tagging

As your collection of files grows, the more you'll need a good
way to find specific files. Sometimes your folder names are
all you need to find things in a flash, but sometimes that's
not enough. Other times, knowing the date that the file was
created or imported is the best way to find a file. But often
times, you'll need the Search command to peek inside your
tags and descriptions to find the right file or collection of
related files.
Using Search
The Search command finds files based on the text contained
in file names, folder names, tags, and descriptions.
Typically, you'll have the best results if you attach tags to
your files and then search for the terms you've used in your
tags.
To begin a search:
1.
Click the Search button in the upper left-hand part of the
interface (looks like a magnifying glass).
2.
In the Search text box that appears, type one or more
words that you think are somewhat unique to the file(s)
you seek, and press Enter.
The files matching your search criteria are listed in a
hierarchical view of the file system. If no files are found,
modify your search terms and try again.
Tip: If you don't know any terms or filenames to use
with the Search command, but you know the
approximate date in which the file was created or
imported, you can use the View as Timeline view and
browse for it that way.
