4. Getting Started with GoFlex Home
Sharing with Media Devices
Before your media device can discover and play the digital media files on your GoFlex Home,
you have to make them available. By default, the GoFlex Home Public folder is available to
the supported media devices connected to your home network. To share your Personal or
Backup folders, you must perform the following steps.
To make your digital media files available to the media devices on your home network:
1. Open Seagate Share and log in (see page 38).
2. Click Seagate Share.
The Seagate Share page opens.
3. In the Content panel, move your mouse over the folder that contains the files you want, click
the arrow that appears, then click Share with Media Devices.
All the supported media files in the folder are now available from any media device connected
to your home network. If the folder you've chosen has subfolders inside it, all the files they
contain are shared as well.
Note: If you have a large amount of files stored on GoFlex Home, it will take awhile for the
files to be indexed and viewable from your media player. If you are unable to see the
shared folders on your media device, see "Common Problems and Solutions" on
page 84.
To make the files in the folder unavailable to media devices, repeat Steps 3 and 4, selecting
Unshare with Media Devices in Step 4.
