3.5. Accessing and Transferring Files
IMPORTANT INFO: As noted in the chart below, the Wireless
Space accepts many formats for external storage attached to one of
its three USB 2.0 ports. However, the Mac format HFS+ Journaled
is not supported. The Wireless Space will see a volume partitioned
in HFS+ Journaled in the Dashboard but cannot copy files to it or
mount it on a computer.
IMPORTANT INFO: On a Mac, the icon marked “Wireless Space
(Time Machine)” under Shared is a virtual representation for a Time
Machine compatible disk. It is not a volume for use on the desktop.
MyShare, OpenShare, and USB volumes connected to the Wireless
Space may be used on the desktop. You may also choose MyShare
or OpenShare for Time Machine backups.
IMPORTANT INFO: The Wireless supports external USB storage
with volumes up to 2 TB.
