Hi all, i have just gotten a 2TB MBL. so far it works great. I intended to use it as a backup device like this -

PC ----> MBL ----> ipad

  1. However, right now even after backing up the MBL, I cannot find the files via the ipad

  2. I can only access the files which I copied manually into the public folder on the MBL

PC ----> MBL public folder (by manual copy) ----> ipad

Ideally, I would want MBL to auto back up for me.

PC ----> MBL (auto backup) ----> ipad

How can i do this?

Thanks!

If you’re using Smartware to back up your PC, then all the files are in a hidden directory that isn’t accessible via normal means.
