computer is running. To prevent failures and/or data loss, it is important to follow the steps

1. Before powering down and disconnecting the G-DRIVE USB, unmount the drive by simply
dragging the G-DRIVE USB icon to the trash located in the dock.
Keyboard shortcut: Select the drive icon and hit Command+E.
2. It is safe to remove the drive from your system when the drive icon is no longer present on
your desktop.
