using the bundled backup software.] To do this, right-click on the folder and select "map
network drive". Fill out the dialogue box that Windows presents (input the logical drive
letter and enter the path of a network share directory) and then select Finish. Now you
can log in using the Samba User Account that you created following the "Add User"
dialogue. The NAS drive will show up in 'My Computer' under 'Network Drives'.

Sharing files using Mac OS X

A Mac running Mac OS X can access a connected NAS drive. Click on Network, open the
folder "Workgroup" and locate the "verbatimnas" device. Double-click "verbatimnas" to
open the connection dialogue box.
When prompted to "Select SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to" use
the pull-down menu to select one of the current shares. You will next be prompted to
authenticate by entering your username and password. For "username" use the Mac OS
"Short Name" that you used to create your account on the NAS drive.
After completing authentication your shared folder will appear on your desktop. You can
now drag and drop files to this folder as you can for any folder.
