Once way to do that is to mount the shares that use the Greyhole storage pool, either on the HDA itself, or on a client computer on your local network, and copy your data from their existing location into the mounted shares.
This can be time consuming, but it is the safest way to use Greyhole.
Note that you should '''never''' write or modify files directly in the shared directories on the HDA itself, i.e. /var/hda/files/share_name by default. This applies to all shares for which you checked the ''Uses pool'' option in the Amahi dashboard.
Another way to move your files from their current location into the storage pool is to share their current location using an Amahi share that ''Uses pool'', then let Greyhole nightly check move the files from there into the pool.
