Saving Your Online Pictures with Seagate Dashboard

4. Saving Your Online Pictures with
Seagate Dashboard
The Save feature of Seagate Dashboard lets you download and save pictures from your
social media accounts. This is a convenient way to preserve and protect the pictures you've
posted online, so they don't get deleted accidentally.

How Picture Saving Works

When you enable the Save feature, Seagate Dashboard checks your Facebook or Flickr
accounts for pictures, and gives you the option to download them to your local system.
From Seagate Dashboard, you can log into your Facebook or Flickr account and download
the pictures manually, or you can enable the Seagate Dashboard Auto Save feature, which
causes Seagate Dashboard to periodically scan your social media accounts for new pictures,
and automatically download them to your local system if it finds any. For example, when you
take a picture with your smartphone and upload it to Facebook, Seagate Dashboard can
automatically download the picture from Facebook to your computer at home.

Example: Downloading Pictures from Facebook

Here is an example of how to set up Seagate Dashboard to download pictures posted on a
Facebook account. The procedure is similar for downloading pictures from a Flickr account.
1. On the Seagate Dashboard Home screen, click Save.
2. On the Save screen, click the Facebook icon.
3. The first time you access Facebook from Seagate Dashboard, you are prompted to log in to
your account. Enter your login information. Once you do this, Seagate Dashboard saves it so
you do not have to enter it again for that social networking service.
4. Also the first time you use Seagate Dashboard to access Facebook, you are prompted to
allow the Seagate Dashboard app to post on your behalf. Granting this permission is
necessary for the Share and Save functions to work properly. Click Allow to grant this
permission to the app.
Once you grant this permission to the Seagate Dashboard app, you do not need to grant it
again. If you later want to remove the permission from the Seagate app, you can do so from
the App Settings screen in Facebook.
