I feel with so many threads related to TC, we should have a dedicated forum just for this device alone. Just a suggestion. ;)

Well, I got my TC working with TM and enjoying the N speed internet connection. All that is great but I know it's capable of more.

1. Please look at the two screenshots:

The data folder is AppleShare file type. The Time Machine Backups is Mac OS Extended file type.

I can't drop a file on Time Capsule Data folder, so I drop a file named "5 years" on "Time Machine Backups" to test if I can see this file from my brother's Windows PC.

Well, I can't.

The Windows PC can see Time Capsule in Network and can browse, although the files make no sense at all (probably system files). However, it doesn't see the Word document.

What do I need to do so that TC can act as a storage drive so that both PC and MAC and read&write from it?
