Product Description
-------------------
The Seagate Backup Plus desktop external hard drive simplifies
backup for consumers who want to protect their entire digital
life locally, in the cloud or from social networks. Via the
Seagate Dashboard, use the Protect function to set up a one-click
plan or customize your scheduled local backup. Keep multiple
copies of your files in case disaster strikes. With the Save
feature, user-generated content can be backed up from your
favorite social networks. Many people now use their s
to capture priceless moments. While these devices are handy and
readily available, storage is not their strong suit. Capture a
memory, post it on a social networking site and let the Seagate
Dashboard automatically back up any content posted. Even if the
file gets accidentally deleted from the device, another copy can
be waiting. The Share feature allows multiple files to be
uploaded to social networks at once from your computer. The days
of uploading individual files without creating a new album are
gone! Simply select files to upload, choose where to post them
and even add comments. Managing your social profile has never
been easier. Install the pre-loaded NTFS driver for Mac, and use
the drive interchangeably between PC and Mac computers without
reformatting the drive. For even more flexibility, with the
Seagate Backup Plus design, you can upgrade from the included USB
3.0 interface to Thunderbolt technology or FireWire 800 with the
available additional adapter. Ships with: Seagate Backup Plus
