How do I avoid losing track for files using the proprietary database naming algorithm? I am concerned about being able to find and access files

Each of the items scanned are saved in the system as PDF files, so you always have access to the files. The idea behind Rack-2-Filer is that you have an organization for your scanned items. First, you create up to 3 different "libraries", such as Business, Personal, and Other, for example. You, then, create a digital "notebook" in one of the libraries. I think each library is limited to something like 1,000 notebooks. Then, you create "tabs" inside your notebooks, like you would put tabs in a notebook you'd use for school. Then, you open a tab and scan things under that tab as pages (either one-sided or two-sided). Each notebook can have up to 1,000 pages each. But, if you scan in 5 pages, then 3 pages, then a 1 page document, it saves each "scan" session as a separate PDF. So, if you want everything in one huge PDF file, you have to only start one continuous scan. Each new scan "session" is considered a new PDF. But when you review your documents under the tabs, you don't get the sense of where one PDF file ends and the next one begins -- you can only see that under Windows Explorer when you view the PDF files under the file structure. So, if you scan everything in 1 by 1, you could have 1,000 PDFs. If you scan one long, continuous scan, you only have 1 PDF, but both would look the same when you review them in a notebook. Hope that helps. If you have more questions, you can contact me at dennis.wiedeman@gmail.com

No but you can put your database on the flash drive to use on different machines.

The files are named by date. If you didn't set the date just look at what date it has now and trace back to which ever day and time you think you did your recording you are looking for. Hope that helps.

I have synced. I keep several personal databases on my Transporter and use them in class to grade students. The new grades sync up very nicely. When I look at the file on another device it tells me that the file has been updated. I don't know about off line.

if you want read access only I wouldn't suggest this. I would use something like Google Drive.

Yes, I think Brother will do that. I named every document (ie 2005 Tax Return). However if I accidentally gave two files the same name it added a number after the name. It wasn't essential that I change the name as the title of the document didn't disappear once it was loaded. That's how I occasionally ended up with two files with the same name - I would be distracted and forget to type in a different description/name for the new document. Then a count would be added to the back of the file name. I never did this on purpose, so I only went to 002.

Not sure. I would us Open Office anyway. My Database had none of the features I was looking for.

If you are using this with a Mac try using Hazel. It is available in the App Store. It is a great little app to manage the location of files

I used the system profiler. I believe you might be able to check by right clicking on the drive and selecting get info as well.

I use folder view which is the same as a Windows computer which is the default. I Name all the folder and sometimes the files(songs) using copy and paste then you can control where everything falls in a list on the front panel of the unit. PS I use the usb input with a 128gb thumb drive the sound is the best of all the inputs

You can access it like a USB device under macosx, I would assume the same is true for Linux. You can create folders under erase or save (those are the defaults available). The sync app will only display PDF files. Everything else will be ignored.Be aware that things you "erase" are actually saved. Not sure how long the Sync app keeps them, but you can recover and copy them off if you wish to. You should also be able to use blue tooth file system to read files. IIRC I was not able to create files using blue tooth.

It will appear under network in file explorer. You access it from there just like you would any local drive. You can even set up different permissions for different users so each user's files can be password protected.

That's what I sue mine for. I had a lot a date stored on old ZIP disk with no way retrieving it.Hope this helps,Art Giberson

This product is set up to hold files, but files are not included. When I did my comparison research online, none of the other sites included files either.

You can use a password to prevent anyone else from looking at data. I have not actually used a password. If you forget the password, you have to reset the organizer, and all data is gone.

Do I need a separate recorder/hard drive to store recorded data? If not, how long does it record before the 'loop' ends and it starts rewriting over itself?
