Getting to Know Your GoFlex Home Folders

Every member of your household has access to three folders on GoFlex Home:
• GoFlex Home Public: Folder where files can be shared with others on your home
network. Use the Public folder to create a household media library of digital music,
movies, videos, and photos (or other files) that everyone on your home network can
access from their own computer.
• GoFlex Home Personal: Folder that only you can see and access, where you can store
personal or private files. You can access files stored in your Personal folder from any
computer or smart phone on the Internet, inside or outside your home, by logging in to
GoFlex Home with your user name and password.
• GoFlex Home Backup: Folder that only you can see and access, where all your backup
files are stored. See "Backing Up Your Files to GoFlex Home" on page 39 for more
information.
When you open My Computer (Windows) or launch SmartFolderShortcut from Finder
(Mac), your GoFlex Home folders are listed as three separate drives. GoFlex Home
contains one Personal folder for every GoFlex Home user account; however, the only one
you see is the one that matches your user name and password.
