Assuming that the question you intend to ask is will your computer see files on the drive when it is connected via ethernet. Answer is yes. Your computer will be able see all files on the drive when connected via a network connection, either wifi or ethernet. The drive will appear as a network drive in windows Explorer.

The drive app will see the folders; how it interacts w/ your ethernet question is unknown. It should work, but ... connectivity is diceySorry I cannot be more specifici

Yes but only if there is a second WIFI signal that has the internet. What happens is you connect to the drives WIFI and then you can tell the drive to connect to the Second WIFI that has the internet. The drive then acts a bridge between the two WIFI networks and allows you to browse and stream your media as well as surf the web.

This is a network attached storage device. Not a USB drive. You need ethernet for this drive.

I have several USB drives daisy chained together. I'm not sure how this affects access speeds, but it works.

With the USB connection it will see both drives. If you use eSATA, you can see only one.

It isn't a NAS box; no Ethernet, no file services that I am aware of. It's as esata or USB housing for four drives. Mine is USB connected to a synology NAS box and exposes each of the four drives inside as a separate device to the synology nas head which then makes those available on the network via smb, nfs, etc. am pretty sure this box will work when USB connected to OS X. I have used other devices with the same innards as this one with OS X successfully. This box may also concatenate drives (make four 2 tb drives look like 1 8 tab drive) but I wouldn't recommend using that feature; lose one of the four drives and all your data is lost.

Unfortunately, the USB is set up to access a Hard drive, not the network. There is an Ethernet port on the back that requires HARD-WIRED to a router or hub.

Yes it is a Network drive that plugs into your router, NOT your computer It can be accessed from any computer on the network and files, music, photos etc can be sharedEasy to set up and use I have a 2TB duo & 3TB duo set up with a mirror driveFiles stored on one auto back up to the second drive

Try ES File Explorer,w ith it you access any hard drive (including your storage in pc and other external hard drive) in your home network via wifi.

Yes. I have two drives plugged in and Windows 7 shows them as D: and E:. They both show up at the same time and can be read/written to concurrently.

It depends on the router. Does the USB port support external hard drives and serve them on the network? It should work, but Thunderbolt is what makes this worth buying, not USB.

Mine works file all around so far, as far as Wi-Fi I use Ethernet adapter and have my cat 5 plugged into it instead.

No. Not directly. This drive has USB 3.0 only. There are other models (pro family) that have USB and eSATA. If you want Network Attached you need to look at their NAS family. Specs for all of their products are located here: http://iosafe.com/products

Yes, it will show up in your local explorer under network/router if you attach it to the router. works as just another drive if it is attached direct.

the drive will connect via the usb port - then it functions across the home internet connection as if it where another PC your sharing files with.I use Norton to do the back up as well as using windows own back up on other computers and both work without issues.but the drive is slower then a smaller direct connect usb drive

this doesn't have it's own network adapter. Unless the USB external drive has a network adapter don't believe that will work. Sorry :(

I have a 3 TB. It is connected to my computer USB port, so the only way I can see folders is to have the computer on.
