Seagate Access Apps
What is Seagate Access?
Seagate Access is an account that you use to remotely access your Personal Cloud. Generally, the Personal
Cloud owner creates a Seagate Access account for a user. The owner’s Seagate Access account is created
automatically when first configuring the Personal cloud.
However, it is possible for a standard user to create a Seagate Access account. See Invitation sent to a user
without a Seagate Access account for instructions.
How do I use my Seagate Access account?
You can use your Seagate Access account with the following applications:
Seagate Media app–Available for Android and iOS mobile devices.
Sdrive–Available for Windows and Mac.
Which app should I use?
Seagate recommends both apps since each offers unique features for a wide range of devices.
Seagate Media: mobile devices
Seagate Media is an app for viewing and listening to media files on mobile devices. Install Seagate Media on
your Android and iOS devices to access movies, photos and music stored on your Personal Cloud.
Example: You are at a friend’s home and you want to show pictures from your family vacation. Since the
photos are stored on your Personal Cloud at home, you can access them remotely with your Seagate Access
account. Seagate Media is installed on your Android or iOS phone and linked to your Seagate Access
account. To show the photos, you open Seagate Media and choose your Personal Cloud.
Sdrive: PC/Mac
Sdrive is an application for your computers at home, in the office and anywhere with a connection to the
Internet. It creates a special Sdrive volume with all the files stored on your Personal Cloud. The Sdrive
volume is easy to access since it appears on your computer like a standard hard drive.
Owners can also use Sdrive to access the Personal Cloud’s management tool.
