No sharing folders on another harddrive?
 

Hello,

I'm new to Limewire 1.8 for Mac OS 10.1 but I like what I see. All but this....

I've got my OS X on a separate partition from my classic files & from my slave drive that holds my MP3 collection. I've tried share my MP3 folder, but LimeWire won't let me. I'm not given access to other partitions/drives when selecting folders to share.

I tried to trick LimeWire by adding an alias of my MP3 collection folder to the OS X drive. But that didn't work. Anybody with any ideas?

I've had the same problem.
 

Limewire seems to be tripping up over something in the permissions. I have two system hard-drives and one everything else hard drive, and Limewire wouldn't even install to any thing other than the OSX drive. I am the only user and admin on my computer, so all the drives [and folders] are set to be read-writeable to the world. I have no idea what the issue is, so I just left the settings as they were and pretended that I wanted them that way. I loaded a couple of things to share into "documents", even though I would have prefered to use my old share folder, which was too big to drop into the OS X disk. I know that doesn't really help, but it does work...

P.S. -- I've already contacted bugs@limewire about this issue already.

I found my ext. fire wire hidden from view
 

you might find it hidden away during the browse process. Go inside the options in limewire. Go to save file. Go to browse location. A box pops up. Select the "-your name-'s computer" tab at the top, then inside this directory, or one very close, you'll find a folder called "volumes" somewhere at the end of the list. Click that and your drive might be in there. Mine was.

He's right!
 

-Hi all,

Scott Russell is absolutely right. It works for sharing files too. Go to Tools --> Options. Select Sharing, then Add ...
Select "Your Name's" Computer and scroll down until you see Volumes. That's where they are!
