The software is smart enough to recognize media files. If it is a media file, then it won't share it to the entire Internet without a login. (Local IPs yes). I think you can have a login/password that allows anyone in the world to download the files, but they have to login first. Not really a big deal I don't think. And the basic disk drive / firmware does not have any of the intelligence, it is just an addon app. Greg -- Greg Freemyer Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer First 99 Days Litigation White Paper - http://www.norcrossgroup.com/forms/whitepapers/99%20Days%20whitepaper.pdf The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
