Select Folders

I transfer files to my TV Live Hub via an external hard drive.  Is there some way to allow certain folders not to be transferred?  Thanks.

well, either don’t select folders that you don’t want copied over …

or “hide” the folders on your external usb drive from view on the WDTV Live Hub

rename them with a dot “.”

eg.  .mystuff

 

here’s a simple *.bat file … double click to create a .mystuff folder (you can right-click and edit to change the name of the folder)

So if the folder has a dot before the title WD TV Live Hub will recognize this as a folder not to transfer?

Not specific to transferring, but it will prevent it. The Hub will not see folders that begin with a dot, so you can use this method to “hide” folders from you WD for various purposes, like backups etc, that you don’t want shown on your screen.

Thanks a lot for the help you guys.  The dot solution worked perfectly and I saved about 30 gigs of internal drive space.
