Public And Private Folders; What's The Difference - Seagate SRN21C User Manual

Public and Private Folders

Your Personal Cloud 2-Bay has a Public folder that anyone can use and a private folder
where each local user can store personal content that others cannot see.

What's the difference?

Everyone on your home network can access the Public folder. Anyone who has been given a
Seagate Access account to the storage device can also access the Public folder. Use the
Public folder for files you want to share and for your centralized media library.
A private folder is created for each local user account and is password protected. Use your
private folder to back up content that you don't want to share with others.
