Share Files
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational
purposes. The files can be Windows, Mac, or Linux file types (NTFS, FAT32, HFS+, Ext 3,
Ext 4), including text, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, picture, and multimedia files. USB drive
applications include:
• Sharing multimedia such as MP3 files, pictures, and other multimedia with local and
remote users.
• Sharing resources on your network.
You can store files in a central location so that you do
not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files
between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB drive as a
go-between across the systems.
• Sharing files such as W
ord documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with
remote users.
A few common uses are described in the following sections.
Share Photos
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This method
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
 To share files with your friends and family:
1. Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive
