Can you map network drives ONTO MBLD?

Hello!

I was wandering if you set one of these up in an office using the network. Is it possible to access, or map, any of the network drives that are on the office network?

Example:

Currently we use the I drive for the office network. Can I put a directory to this same I drive onto the MBLD? So a user can access the office’s I drive from the MBLD device over the Cloud storage?

Or maybe have some type of process where if you save something onto the MBLD device, it gets sent to a folder onto the I drive?

Thank you.

Yes.

The drive can be accessed via WD 2go or FTP.

Only by using mounts and if you’re comfortable working in Linux.  You’d have to do it via SSH, and work it into the init scripts or fstab file so they survive reboots.

I don’t think your corporate IT would like it, though, so you might want to check with them!  :)
