HD300 using USB drive as source

Does anyone know if it's possible to add a locally connected USB device as an import folder on the HD200 or HD300? I was attempting to add it on the HD300 but couldn't find where/how to do that. I know previously I've added import directories to my HD200 over the network so I know it's capable of adding them when not in extender mode. I believe it would be beneficial for the case where I'm taking it portable and would like it to have the ability to remember where I left off while watching something.

Seems like a fairly straight forward enhancement for the future if it's not currently supported.

Yes. Both the HD200 and HD300 can use external USB hard drives/flash drives

I agree, and I'm doing that but I can't seem to add my USB drive as an "import" folder such that it can remember where I stopped watching something and resume from that spot.

Thanks for the reply though

While in the File Browser, you will see a note at the bottom of the screen when the USB drive or one of its subfolders is highlighted that says "Use the Info command for folder optons" (or something fairly close to those words). After using the Info command, choose the option to add the path as an import directory.
