The Seagate Media app gives you access to all the photos, videos, music, and documents stored on your compatible Seagate storage devices. Quickly and easily browse your media library with classic file/folder view, thumbnails or a range of filters. Access your media library stored on a Seagate Wireless device, no Internet needed. Access content stored on your Seagate Personal Cloud. Seagate has introduced the GoFlexAccess mobile device app for its GoFlex Home network storage system. Now available for download from the iTunes Store and Android Market, this easy-to-use application can be found by searching for 'Seagate' or 'GoFlex' in either store front using your computer or the app store on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch.
TABLET computers, while fantastically convenient, can only hold so much media.
Even top tablet computers will only hold 64 gigabytes of content; far from the terabyte promises of a laptop.
For those who need more space for movies, TV shows, apps, photos and email, Seagate has developed a cunning technological solution.
The Seagate GoFlex Satellite is a portable hard drive that looks standard, if a bit thick. It comes in a glossy black package with cords to charge it and connect it to a PC or Mac.
Users can plug this hard drive into a computer to drag and drop favourite files to it. Alternatively, free Media Sync software will find content to add to the hard drive.
Users must also download the GoFlex Media app from their app store of choice - Apple or Google.
Once both devices are loaded, the hard drive must be turned on to start broadcasting a wireless signal to which the tablet can connect. Media can then be wirelessly streamed from the hard drive on to the tablet's screen, letting users carry a library of movies or other media with them.
The GoFlex Media app's menu is easy to use and is divided into categories such as Videos, Photos, Music and Documents.
This broadcasting hard drive offers up to five hours of use per charge, though its staying power will depend on your use.
It's also worth noting that our test unit struggled to talk to the iPad on several occasions. In short, this device is prone to the same reception drop-outs as any wireless gadget.
Setting it up is easier than you might expect of a streaming device, however, and Seagate deserves kudos for making it simple.
