[QUOTE="skewzme, post: 793462, member: 77567"] I purchased a 500 GB external HD. Can I exchange and use files/programs from this drive with the same ease of access I have with my internal drive? I noticed a "shared file" box I can check in the "more info" window for the external drive. WHen I check this box, a pop up opened with this statement: "To publish this folder, you must enable File Sharing in Sharing preferences." I canceled since I wasn't sure what this meant, but it sounds like this would allow me to use the external drive the same way I use the internal drive. True? Thanks [/QUOTE]
