DISQUS

EddieZ · 2 years ago

I have one of these (beta tester) and it's been great - no problems. I also have an AppleTV, and I really find the AppleTV easier, but not nearly as flexible. I really like the whole home networking capability. I have a Drobo plugged in for expandable networked storage - seems to work great so far. Be warned though, I am still working out kinks - my MG and my Drobo are both pretty new =)

"Can folders be renamed/edited?"

Yes, when you connect the MG to your PC via USB (I have not yet tried wireless, only just got my WLAN card card working after months of driver issues and no time to fix), it shows up in the My Computer menu as just another drive. You can move ANY data (regardless if its format will be recognised by the unit or not) to, or from the MG, as well as cutting, pasting and copying things around within the MG's hard drive. This includes renaming, creating and deleting old files or folders.

"can u password protect certain video/photo folders?"

No, I do not believe that this is available as a function the MG. I have played around with the unit a lot, and spent some time on the MG forums and have not seen any information indicating that this unit is able to password protect certain files or folders.
