Ejecting an external drive
External storage devices should be ejected before physically disconnecting them from computers. This prevents file and directory corruption. It's the reason why Microsoft Windows® and macOS provide eject functions. As a convenience, an eject function is also provided in EdgeRover™. Follow these instructions to use it:
- In the main menu, click Sources. The content view will show your Sources.
- Locate the external storage device you want to eject.
- Under the Source, click the Ellipsis
icon. - Click Eject.
A confirmation screen will let you know that the drive was ejected. If the device is being used by another application, the operating system might not allow it to be ejected. If the device is currently being cataloged by EdgeRover, you'll be given the choice to continue cataloging the device or continue with the eject command. If you eject the device, cataloging will resume automatically the next time it's plugged in.
