Does this have to be used as a back-up drive only or can it be used as sort of a large flash drive to save files and access on any compatible device?
I'm under the impression that many external hard drives are just used for back-up to restore what was lost on the computer the data was originally stored in. I just want to use this as a storage device to save things from any computer I may be using at the time - at the library, a hotel business center where computers are provided for guests, a computer lab at school, etc. Will this only serve as back up or can I save files directly to the Canvio Connect II for access on any computer I hook it up to?
