Use Windows Explorer/Finder to preserve your folder structure for uploaded files
The CANVIO HOME upload function provides a streamlined way to copy files from your computer so that you can easily share
them with others on your network. However, if you have organized your files in a certain way, you can use Windows Explorer
(Windows) or the Finder (Mac) to drag and drop folders and files onto the CANVIO HOME Public folder, the same way you
would with any folder. Simply locate the Public folder in Windows Explorer or the Finder, and drag and drop as usual. Your
files still appear in the CANVIO HOME software as if you uploaded them directly. So, for example, any photos you upload by
drag-and-drop appear under Photos along with any you upload using the software.
To see the folder structure, click the Files
by drag-and-drop. Files you uploaded using the software appear directly under their file type folder (Music, Video, Photo, or
Other).
