Private Folders
After you create a user, the Seagate Central device appears in your network with the device
name you specified on the Personalize page. The device contains two folders: Public, and
the private folder created for the new user account.
You can use private folders in the following ways:
• Store content that you do not want others to see, such as financial information.
• Set up Seagate Dashboard or Apple Time Machine to back up your computers to your
private folder. The backup is not accessible without entering the user name and
password.
• Link your Facebook account to Seagate Central.
• Remotely view private content from a web browser.
Note: You cannot access content stored in a private folder with the Seagate Media app, DLNA
connected devices, or iTunes.
