5. Archiving Your Facebook Content
You can set up Seagate Central to copy pictures and videos from your Facebook account and
save them to the device. This is a convenient way to preserve and protect the content you’ve
posted online.
After you link a Seagate Central user to a Facebook account, Seagate Central periodically
scans the Facebook account for new pictures and videos, and copies them to Seagate
Central. You can choose whether to copy the pictures and videos to the Public folder on the
Seagate Central device or to the private folder owned by the user.
