5. Using Cloud Storage
This chapter explains how to set up and manage your Cloud Storage account so you can use
it as a destination for your data backups. You can manage your Cloud Storage account from
within Seagate Dashboard, or you can log into your account using a Web browser.
Note: The Cloud Storage feature is only available in the Windows version of Seagate Dashboard.

About Cloud Storage

The Seagate Cloud Storage Service Powered by Nero is a secure, reliable place to store
your backed-up data online. When you purchased your Seagate Backup Plus drive, you
received a free 1-year subscription to the Cloud Storage service, along with 4 gigabytes of
free storage. You can easily increase the amount of available storage, and extend your
subscription beyond the initial year.
When setting up a backup plan with the Protect feature, you can specify Cloud Storage as
the destination for the data backups; then when Seagate Dashboard executes the backup
plan, it will automatically upload your data files to your Cloud Storage account.
See "Protecting Your Data" on page 9 for information on how to create a backup plan.

Setting up a Cloud Storage Account

To start backing up your files to Cloud Storage, you must first create a Cloud Storage
account. To create a Cloud Storage account, do the following:
1. Connect your Dashboard-enhanced Seagate drive to your computer.
