Configure the auto-connect feature for a group

You can enable the auto-connect feature for a group (or multiple groups). This feature ensures that whenever you open the AnywhereUSB Manager, you are automatically connected to all of the groups to which you are allowed access that have auto-connect enabled.

Note When you open the AnywhereUSB Manager, the Manager attempts to connect to the groups to which you are allowed access. If someone else already owns the group, you will not be connected to that group.

If you have auto-connect enabled for the group, it controls how you can disconnect:

• If auto-connect is enabled, you are not allowed to disconnect from the group. The Disconnect from Group option cannot be selected. You have to first disable auto-connect, and then disconnect from the group.
• You can disconnect from a USB device in the group, but if auto-connect is enabled, the device is immediately re-connected.

For this to work as expected, you should also choose to automatically start the AnywhereUSB Manager each time you start your computer. For example, you can enable auto-connect for a group that has a camera connected to a port in the group. Every time the computer starts, the AnywhereUSB Manager starts and automatically connects the camera to your computer.
