Understanding How Media Sync Works
The Media Sync feature of Seagate Media makes it easy to keep the media files on your
FreeAgent drive and other external USB drive synchronized with the media files on your
computer(s).
Media Sync recognizes media files in supported formats on your computer and automatically
sorts them into movie, picture, and movie folders on the connected drive.
Media Sync’s Automatic Sync feature continuously tracks changes in your media folders and
files, and automatically updates your drive whenever you connect it to your computer.
Note: FreeAgent drives may have come with software that includes a sync feature. However, only
the Seagate Media application
is designed to find media files on your computer, organize
them, and sync them with the files on your external drives.
