  1. This is a totally noob question I know, but I'm a total noob to DrivePool, so it's ok. After recently losing my 4 year old WHS server (HP EX475) to a system drive failure, I decided to convert my home network to Windows 8 (based on some very helpful suggestions from the folks on the WHS forum). So now I have a new server, I've installed DrivePool, set up the pool (1 2TB and 1 4TB), and I've copied all of my data from the old server drives into the pool. But so far I haven't seen anything about what the more experienced users here consider the best method for sharing the pool. Should I just share the pool "drive" over my workgroup (all the machines in my network are on the same workgroup)? Should I create a Homegroup and share it that way? I've avoided using Homegroup so far as I fear being locked out of functionality that may not be under the Homegroup umbrella. Is there another method I'm unaware of? I have 10 non-phone devices in my network: 5 Windows 8.1 (1 server, 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 2 tablets), 4 Windows 7 (all desktops), and an iPad (?? I don't know, I had weak moment ). Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks, Rm
