Hard Drive Sharing
AirPort Extreme lets you turn your external USB hard drive into a drive you can share with all the users on your network. It’s called AirPort Disk, and it’s a simple and convenient way to share files among everyone in your family, office or class.
Simple to use.
How does it work? Just connect the drive to the USB port on the back of your AirPort Extreme and — voila — all the documents, videos, photos and other files on the drive instantly become available to anyone on the secure network, Mac and PC alike. It’s perfect for file sharing, collaborative projects and more.
A simple-to-use AirPort Disk Utility gives you more setup options. You can set the disk to become available whenever you connect to the network. You can set up password-protected accounts for everybody on the network or allow read-only access to certain files and folders. The choice is yours.
Do everything.
What if you’d like to exchange files over your wireless network and still have access to a wireless printer? Easy. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub. Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, multiple hard drives or a combination.
