QuestionHow do I access individual files and folders on the easystore ? For example, I may want to transfer only some of them to a different PC (is that an easy process?).
Asked 8 years ago by SamTheMan.
- Answer Depends on what OS you're on but basically, after copying the folders/files onto the drive, unplug it from the old (source) pc, plug the drive into the new (target) pc, open your favorite file explorer, find your drive/folder/file and drag and drop to new location.

QuestionCan I transfer photos and videos directly to the hard drive from my phone (Samsung Galaxy S8) or would they need to go from my phone to my laptop and then to the hard drive?
Asked 5 years ago by ChristyA.
- Answer There are wireless wi-fi hard drives out there that would be the BEST way for you if you want to transfer files from your phone directly to a hard drive. But yes for this portable hard drive, there is a way, but it will take a USB adapter that would connect to your phone to be able to read the portable hard drive and you would have to download a file reading app in collaboration with the adapter. Otherwise, the efficient way is to transfer files off your phone to a PC or laptop and then transfer those files to the portable hard drive.
