Sdrive accounts. Once the link is established on the local network, the Sdrive application can be downloaded

home computer, she signs in using the same Sdrive account created in the office. The Sdrive volume appears in
an Explorer window (Windows) or the desktop (Mac).

Sdrive invitations to join the NAS OS device
An administrator can invite users to join the NAS OS device using Sdrive. Sdrive invitations perform two
functions:
Create a user account in NAS OS.
Create a dedicated share with the user's name.
This option is ideal for sharing a NAS OS device with colleagues and clients who do not work within the local
network. Users created in NAS OS should follow the steps in
remote access.
Example 1: An employee in the office wants easy access to his files on the Seagate NAS OS device. Since he
works within the local network, he follows the steps in
access.
Example 2: The administrator wants to give a colleague in a branch office access to the NAS OS device at the
company's headquarters. Once the invitation is accepted, the colleague has a user account and a dedicated
share on the NAS OS device. The administrator can also give the colleague rights to access additional shares on
the NAS OS device.
Example 3: The creative services team wants to share artwork with a client using secure remote access. The
NAS OS administrator sends an Sdrive invitation to the client, automatically creating a user account and a
dedicated share in the user's name. The administrator also gives the group Creative Services read+write access
to the client's dedicated share (see
The creative services team can now collaborate with the client by sharing files on the dedicated share.
Additionally, the administrator knows that the client only has access to the dedicated share. Sdrive provides
ideal content sharing since it is secure and easy to manage.
