I really need simple basic information.
I have been storing genealogy, pictures, word documents, etc. on numerous thumb drives and know that is not a good long term solution.
And I know that I need to be diligent about backing up all my files from my laptop, too.
But I don’t really understand the best way to use easystore.
Can I just save what is on the drive to the easystore just like when I save a file to a thumb drive?
Do I need the Discovery application?
I take it that to set up an automatic backup schedule the Discovery app is needed.
So if I do that and have the easystore plugged in and then plug in a thumb drive would that automatically update?
Can I move the easystore between computers?
As you can see I have only a cursory understanding of this whole thing.
Hello Sebra,
WD easystore drive is a portable external storage. This drive works just as a thumb drive. To save data on the easy portable drive you can simply drag and drop your files or copy/paste files on the drive. You need not use discovery application to transfer data on the drive. Discovery app cannot be used to perform automatic backup on the drive .
You cannot copy data automatically from your thumb drive to the easyportable drive. However, you can manually transfer the data.
Also, the drive can be used with two different computer.
