v
Back up files to your personal private share. These files remain private unless you give a specific person permission to
access a file.
To upload files from your computer, you first specify which types of files you want. The CANVIO HOME then searches your
computer for just the file types you specify.
v
If you specify music, video, or photo, or playlist files, the software searches for all supported file types in those
categories. These are as follows:
Category
Music and Playlists
Videos
Photos
NOTE
Although your CANVIO HOME recognizes and stores these file formats, you can only listen to or view a file or playlist on your
computer or other device if the file is in a format that the computer or device also supports. You may need to install a third-party
application or audio/video playback codec to access media or other files on your computer.
v
If you specify documents, you can select which supported document file types you want to search for.
v
You can also specify any file type that does not fall within the category of music, video, photo, or document.
NOTE
Your CANVIO HOME does not upload files to the same folder structure you have on your computer or other device. Instead,
uploaded files are placed in the Public folder, in a subfolder based on file type: Music, Video, Photos, or Documents. If you want
to keep your folder structure for uploaded files, use Windows Explorer or the Finder to organize files on your CANVIO HOME. See
"Use Windows Explorer/Finder to preserve your folder structure for uploaded files" on page
