====== Using Media App Controls ======

**Note:** Certain controls are only available on select storage devices. Therefore, you might not see all of the controls listed here. Additionally, controls may be placed in **More** ({{:products:lma:screenshots:ss-android-ico-more.png?25|}}) on mobile devices with smaller displays.

===== Home page =====
{{:products:lma:screenshots:ss-android-home-nowifi.png?500|}} \\ 

The Home page appears with each initial launch of the media app. The media app will recall your last view if it remains open on your device as you switch to another app. A simple way to return to the home page is to quit the media app on your mobile device and then open it again. \\ {{:products:lma:screenshots:ss-android-home-tour.png?500|}} \\ 

  - **Connectivity:** Tap on **Connectivity** ({{:products:lma:screenshots:ss-ios-ico-overflow.png?25|}}) to open the selection drawer. The selection drawer allows you to choose a Library or Folder to access its content. Libraries include Videos, Photos, Music, and Documents. Folders are the devices that you are using to access files and media: the mobile device, the mobile storage, and the network-attached storage (NAS). The mobile storage device and NAS must be connected to the same network as your mobile device.
  - **Devices and Network:** Lists the connections between the mobile and storage devices as well as the network. When first connecting to the wireless storage, you can see your mobile device and the wireless storage. The Wi-Fi network appears after you connect the storage device to the Internet.
  - **Browse Content and Network Connection:**
    * Tap **Browse my //Product// content** to enable the selection drawer. //Product// is the name of your compatible storage device.
    * Manage your storage device's connection to the Internet by choosing the appropriate option. For example, tap on **Connect //Product// to the Internet** to join the storage device to your Wi-Fi network.
