Accessing and Enjoying Your Files on Your Home
Network
You can access your three folders on GoFlex Home from your home network or from
anywhere in the world over the Internet. You can watch movies, listen to music, view photos,
and open other files in the GoFlex Home Personal and Public folders the same way you
would if they were stored directly on your computer. You can also edit, save, or delete files
stored on GoFlex Home.
From your home network, you can use the Seagate Dashboard or the Web-based Seagate
Share application to access your folders; Mac users can also use the SmartFolderShortcut in
Finder to access their files. When you're away from home, whether you're on a computer or a
smartphone, you must use Seagate Share to access your files.
This section explains how to access your files on your home network. For information about
accessing your files when you're away from home, see page 45.
Accessing Your Files From the Seagate Dashboard
Note: Mac users—You can use either Seagate Share or the SmartFolderShortcut to access your
files. See the next sections for more information.
From the Seagate Dashboard, you can view your three folders and their contents in a familiar
folder view, the way they would appear in My Documents.
To access your folders on GoFlex Home:
1. Open the Seagate Dashboard (see page 30).
2. In the My Applications panel, click Folder View.
Your three GoFlex Home folders open in a Web browser, but in a folder view similar to My
Documents.
